SNAP does more than help families put food on the table. It also supports local economies. Every $1 in SNAP benefits generates up to $1.80 in economic activity during downturns. Fewer participants means less economic activity for local businesses.

No family should have to choose between paying the rent and buying groceries. But that’s a choice Trump’s SNAP cuts keep forcing families in Louisiana and across America to make.

A sign that people are not being "lifted" off SNAP: they're showing up to wait in the hours-long line at the overwhelmed local food pantry.
ALT Those forces have hit especially hard in areas that were already struggling economically, like West Virginia’s once-flourishing coal mining communities. The spike in gas costs means a 45-minute drive to the nearest grocery store can set residents back more than $15. And West Virginians who must comply with the new work requirements to receive food benefits are confronting a lack of jobs and training programs. Since last summer, about 24,000 people, including 8,000 children, have lost food stamps, according to the West Virginia Department of Human Services.
Food pantry workers on the front lines of feeding their neighbors say they're facing unprecedented challenges after cuts by the Trump administration. Demand is surging, while the amount of food they're getting from the federal government has fallen. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/wes…
