Callaway Rejects Free Food Program Amid Budget Strain
Callaway County plans to drop the federal free surplus food program as County Judge Paul Murphy cites a lack of funds to cover 20 percent of distribution costs. Welfare Director Proctor Carter notes all counties would share the 20 percent, equalizing costs. Murphy writes Carter that Callaway will not participate, home to 800 families and 2800 people in the program. He warns the federal government withdraws support, leaving counties to bear the burden.
