Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee today announced the launch of FeedTN.org, a platform that will connect Tennesseans with resources and opportunities to serve during the federal government shutdown. The platform is designed to respond to warnings from the U.S. Department of Agriculture that there will be insufficient funding to cover November’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits if the shutdown continues.
