SNAP Testimonies Part One
We are following closely the proposals in Congress to cut back the dollar amount of benefits that people all across Mississippi, and the country, would experience if the new budget bill passes. The people who would be affected by any reductions in SNAP benefits aren’t just statistics on spreadsheets. They’re real parents with real families in real places.
We asked some of our moms in the current cohort for The Magnolia Mother’s Trust to tell us what cuts to their SNAP benefits would do to their families and change how they provide for their kids each month. Take a listen.
Protect SNAP
The proposed cuts in the “Big, Beautiful Bill” making its ways through Congress would increase hunger, force more families to food pantries, and hurt local economies.
We asked some of our moms in The Magnolia Mother’s Trust to weigh in. Take a listen!
