Governor: Kansas will keep providing extra COVID food aid

Food aid

Because Kansas is no longer under a state of emergency for the coronavirus pandemic, Gov. Laura Kelly is moving to keep extra food aid to area households.

The announcement Tuesday that Kelly plans to continue the extra $14.5 million a month in aid came two weeks after top State Legislatures ended the state of emergency. The governor's chief of staff had told reporters that the extra pandemic-related aid would end once the state of emergency expired June 15.


Lawmakers had argued that Kansas could continue to manage its pandemic response without an emergency declaration. The aid averages about $230 a month per household.
