Help For Mercer County Residents And Stepping Up State Nutritional Needs, This West Virginia Morning
Description
On this West Virginia Morning, an influx of cash will provide more than 500 residents at or close to the poverty line in Mercer County $1,500 each month for 16 months. The key here is it’s no strings attached. Maria Young has the story.
Also, with delays to federal nutritional benefits expected, the state government is trying to step up to meet the need. As Chris Schulz reports, Gov. Patrick Morrisey is asking for public support, too.
