Across West Virginia, food banks say they're serving more families as thousands of people lose food stamps under new federal rules. Patrick Morrisey took office, the number of households receiving food stamps has fallen by nearly 9,000, according to state data. The program provides nine meals for every one meal from a food pantry. And just as more families are turning to food pantries, state funding for those organizations has fallen sharply. Shirley Justice opened the Healing Heart Food Pantry in Sod in 2019 at the McCorkle Free Will Baptist Church.
