Once DCF receives guidance from the USDA on how to process these partial benefits, DCF will determine next steps to issue the partial payments and communicate when Kansas SNAP recipients can expect to receive them.

THANK YOU, FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY. And thanks to all of you out there who donated books--the used book sale Oct. 16-20 was a big success. It attracted 235 people and generated $1,961 in sales and membership dues. This anticipated annual event is an important fundraiser for the library, helping us to provide such "extras" as game tables and patron shopping carts. Perhaps best of all it helps support the summer reading program. Leftover books were donated to COF Training Services for their thrift store. Friends of the Library memberships are always open--just $5 per person, $20 per family. ... See MoreSee Less
