Impending updates to SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits are leaving many Maricopa County families wondering how they will put food on the table.
In September alone, 855,273 Arizonans relied on SNAP benefits – that’s about 1 in every 10 adults and 1 in every 4 children. As food costs rise and resources remain limited, Valley food banks and community pantries are seeing growing demand.
With further changes to our community’s safety net fast approaching, the need is only expected to increase. Now more than ever, our community needs our collective support.
