This week's episode features a conversation about SNAP, namely, who is going to cover the costs to keep the federal nutrition program running?

Hourglass recently sat down with Elsa Young, United Way Food Security Impact Manager, about a recent nationwide advocacy effort to delay federal mandates to shift some of SNAP benefits costs to states, how Washington state is responding to impending changes to the program, and ways you can make your voice heard to help determine the fate and future of SNAP.

We will also discuss United Way’s Free Tax Preparation Campaign and an upcoming volunteer opportunity.

Thanks for tuning in!
