A new budget bill in Washington could mean cuts to your SNAP benefits.
The article from WCAX discusses a "SNAP Day of Action" event held in Montpelier, Vermont, aimed at protecting and expanding access to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Organized by Hunger Free Vermont and other advocacy groups, the event highlighted the importance of SNAP in combating food insecurity, especially as federal emergency allotments ended, reducing benefits for many. Participants, including SNAP recipients and advocates, urged state and federal lawmakers to increase SNAP benefits and improve the program's accessibility. The event also addressed the need for better outreach and education about SNAP eligibility and application processes to ensure more eligible Vermonters can benefit from the program.
