JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 The Jacksonville city council voted unanimously to give $200,000 to Feeding Northeast Florida. <\/p>\n

The 17-0 decision came before the U.S. House of Representatives passed a funding package that ended the 43-day federal government shutdown, which had temporarily halted SNAP and other nutrition program funding.<\/p>\n

Councilmember Ron Salem, who proposed the emergency funding, says he hopes the move encourages others to give. <\/p>\n

Feeding Northeast Florida CEO Susan King says the funds will allow the organization to purchase food for emergency food drives over the next couple of weeks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe agreement with council is that we would immediately deploy these dollars for food purchases that would support the community for 10 days to two weeks and by the community I mean the 10 highest SNAP enrollment zip codes, we will be working with agency partners there to get food immediately into those communities,\u201d said King. <\/p>\n
