Federal SNAP Cuts Heighten Food Insecurity Across US Food Banks
Food banks across the United States are facing increased strain due to rising food insecurity exacerbated by recent federal policy decisions and economic challenges. In Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott's decision not to participate in the Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer program has shifted more pressure onto organizations like the Central Texas Food Bank, which anticipates serving more people amid rising demand. Similarly, the Tarrant Area Food Bank and Wichita Falls Area Food Bank warn that cuts from the 'One Big Beautiful Bill,' signed by President Trump, which reduces Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits and imposes state financial responsibilities for errors, will worsen food insecurity. The Central California Food Bank also highlights the impact of these federal cuts, predicting a significant increase in the need for meals among low-income families. Meanwhile, food banks in Newfoundland and Labrador report rising demand and decreasing donations, with families struggling to cope during the summer months when school meal programs pause. Collectively, these developments underscore the urgent need for increased community support and advocacy as federal assistance programs contract and local organizations try to fill the widening gap.
