The Kewaunee County Food Pantry is uncertain whether it would serve more people if the Trump Administration cuts back on the number of food stamp recipients.  The USDA proposal would close a loophole that allows those receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families benefits to automatically become eligible for food stamps without further checks on their income or assets. That would result in a cost savings of  $9.4-billion over five years. Ken Marquardt, president of the Kewaunee County Food Pantry, says the impact from such cutbacks would depend on each client's situation.

Marquardt says the pantry isn't concerned about running low on food.  He says shelves are adequately stocked for now.
