## Resource

Texas is in a hunger crisis worse than ever, with one in four kids in North Texas going without reliable food — and it’s not just about stomachs, it’s about health, learning, and survival. Over 600,000 Texans have lost SNAP benefits due to new work requirements, leaving families like Marta’s (raising five grandchildren) and Karen’s (caring for her late daughter’s child) scrambling. With rising food prices and no federal safety net, food banks are stepping up — sending grab-and-go snacks to schools, even launching their own pantries — but they’re screaming that they can’t be the solution. Upcoming federal funding cuts could cost Texas billions, deepening the crisis. This isn’t charity — it’s emergency survival.
