## Resource

Seven Save A Lot stores on Chicago’s South and West Sides are closing this Saturday, sparking alarm over food insecurity in already underserved neighborhoods. Yellow Banana, the operator, is struggling financially, citing a 26% drop in SNAP and EBT transactions. Community leaders warn that food pantries can’t replace neighborhood grocers for families relying on government benefits. City officials are negotiating with stakeholders to find new operators and keep the stores open—but the future remains uncertain.
