Attention DCBS Customers: Starting October 1, 2026, SNAP benefit amounts will change due to the yearly Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA).

Your monthly amount depends on your household size, income, and expenses. No action is required for this update. Please continue to submit your regular recertifications and report changes when necessary. For more information on SNAP, visit https://www.chfs.ky.gov/agencies/dcbs/dfs/nab/Pages/snap.aspx

A grocery run shouldn't be a 40-minute round trip.

For a long stretch of Bowling Green's west end, it was. That's why the Delafield Co-op Market exists: a nonprofit micro-grocery sitting in the middle of one of the city's largest urban food deserts, stocked with fresh produce, meat, and dairy.

Neighbors in the area get 30% off every purchase. We take EBT, we participate in Kentucky Double Dollars, and we carry plenty of Kentucky Proud items from farms just down the road.

When the wider community shops here, it does two things at once. It keeps the shelves stocked for the people who depend on them, and it gives local growers another place to sell.

Come see us at 1005 Boatlanding Road, or call 270-782-1263 for current hours.

A federal law passed in July 2025 is changing the rules about who can get Medicaid and what some members must do to keep it. You may be affected if you are ages 19 to 64, qualify for Medicaid based on income, and are not exempt.

The Kentucky Department for Medicaid Services has created a website where members can learn more about these new rules. Visit the Kentucky Health Benefit Exchange (KHBE) website to see these changes: https://buff.ly/8t30Uxw

Kentucky households can apply for LIHEAP Summer Subsidy from August 3 - September 11, 2026, to help offset cooling costs with a one-time electric benefit. Applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, or until funds are depleted.

Interested households should contact their local Community Action Agency, based on county of residence, to determine eligibility and complete the application process. To locate the office serving your county, visit www.capky.org/network or call 800-456-3452.

Households must meet eligibility requirements, including household income of up to and including 150 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines to qualify for assistance. Benefits are paid directly to the household’s electric vendor.

No disconnect notice, past-due bill, or eviction notice is required to apply. Assistance received during previous LIHEAP components does not affect eligibility.

Thank you STB!!! 💜💛

THANK YOU to the Bowling Green Independent Schools Family Resource and Youth Service Center Coordinators for taking the time to shop with the Stuff the Bus Foundation and help us prepare our resource center!

Your firsthand knowledge of the needs facing students and families in Bowling Green Independent Schools is invaluable. By sharing what you see every day, you're helping us ensure our shelves are stocked with the items that will make the biggest difference for the children and families you serve.

This partnership is exactly what the Stuff the Bus Foundation is all about: listening, collaborating, and responding to real needs in our community. Because of your guidance, we're able to be more intentional, more responsive, and better equipped to support students throughout the entire school year.

Together, we're building a stronger community... one student, one family, and one partnership at a time. 💛📚🚌
