How you can help your neighbors as SNAP benefits evaporate
November 1st marks the day when SNAP benefits are set to lapse. SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), a benefit formerly known as food stamps, a vital government program that provides sustenance to low-income people in the United States. In 2024, the US Department of Agriculture reported that SNAP served “an average of 41.7 million people per month, or 12.3 percent of U.S. residents”. In some states, like New Mexico, Oregon, Oklahoma, and Louisiana, more than 16% of their residents rely on SNAP. As SNAP dries up, an unprecedented amount of people and families in need will be diverted to food banks, many of which are already at capacity.
