This isn’t a small tweak: it’s part of a $295 billion federal cut over five years, shifting costs to states and imposing harsher work rules. Losing SNAP often means losing WIC and school meals too, straining already overburdened food banks. But amid rising costs and growing need, communities are rallying — donating time, money, and compassion. Now’s the moment to act: Congress is drafting a new Farm Bill — and advocates are urging you to speak up and demand SNAP restored as a lifeline for millions.
