Myth Busters: Stories of SNAP Food Assistance from Those Who Use It
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is no stranger to attacks, nor are the millions of individuals and families that rely on food assistance and other federal programs. Charges of waste, fraud, and abuse have paved the way to systematic dismantling of policies, departments, and even entire agencies in recent months, and the campaign is once again threatening assistance programs for lower income people and families. Unfortunately, amidst the battle over federal funding, the voices of those who actually rely on the programs have been drowned out. On this special episode of the Voices to End Hunger, host Minerva Delgado speaks with individuals with lived experience with SNAP and other programs, and discusses what policymakers and everyday people need to understand about these critical programs and the lives affected by them.
