Local food banks serve more guests as COVID-era SNAP benefits end

Pandemic-era emergency SNAP benefits are officially over. But what about folks who will still have trouble feeding their families? The supplemental nutrition assistance program, better known as “SNAP,” will continue to be available to low-income families, but now will no longer have the added boost that was added during the pandemic. The final COVID supplement went out to recipients on Feb. 16. During the period emergency benefits were available, people were receiving an additional $95 or more on top of their normal payment. https://www.wric.com/news/local-news/...
