Hunger is only solvable when we listen and learn firsthand from the people who have experienced it. Please give us all the feedback so we can provide better resources and services for our community. TIA!

The drop in SNAP participation is a result of the implementation of HR1, which cut $187 billion in SNAP funding, making it harder for folks to apply and become eligible for benefits.

To make matter words for SNAP recipients, the Farm Bill passed in the House yesterday and failed to restore these historical cuts to the program. Instead, it includes changes that introduce even more challenges that could make it harder for eligible households to access food assistance. (It also does not offer any delays for states to implement cost shifts, putting the program's funding at risk across the country.)

Our food bank is concerned for the longevity of the program and the strain this could put on the charitable food system, but, more importantly, our neighbors who are struggling right now to afford enough food for their families.
