Beginning November 1, more than 3,000 Denton residents who rely on SNAP benefits will temporarily lose access to crucial food resources as the current federal government shutdown continues.

If you or someone you know needs help, visit this page for a list of local food pantries in Denton and the surrounding area: http://bit.ly/432Hxt3

Community members who wish to help their neighbors can make a monetary donation to the United Way of Denton County’s temporary Food Insecurity Relief Fund to support neighbors in need: bit.ly/49trjgv.

Eligible households are encouraged to continue applying for SNAP benefits, as the state manages applications and is not currently affected by the shutdown. Benefits are expected to be distributed retroactively once federal operations resume. To apply for benefits or book an in-person appointment with a SNAP specialist at Serve Denton, visit https://bit.ly/4hwWp8V.

The Denton Police Department is requesting the public’s help in identifying the driver of a vehicle that fled after striking a pedestrian on W. University Drive.

At 12:38 a.m. Monday, Sept. 22, officers responded to an unconscious person call in the 1900 block of W. University Drive, east of Ector Street. Arriving officers determined that a vehicle had struck a pedestrian in the right lane of eastbound W. University.

The male pedestrian was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced deceased. The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office will release his identity after next of kin is notified.

Traffic investigators are actively working to determine the make and model of the suspect vehicle, which witnesses described as a silver/light gray four-door sedan. The vehicle likely sustained front-end damage. Witnesses also reported that the male driver initially stopped then fled after being told he had struck a pedestrian.

The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information should email [email protected] or call 940-349-8181 and ask to speak with a Traffic Unit officer.
