(ONN) – Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced some help for Ohioans whose food assistance benefits are expected to run out as the federal government shutdown continues.

The governor announced a plan to provide up to $25 million amid the anticipated suspension of Federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP benefits.

DeWine signed an executive order directing the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services to give $7 million to various Ohio food banks and up to $18 million in emergency relief benefits to more than 63,000 Ohioans, including more than 57,000 children, who are at or below 50 percent of the federal poverty level.
