America’s largest anti-hunger program provides supplemental food benefits for +40 million people - or 1 in 8—Americans per month. By freeing up money that they would need to spend on food, SNAP benefits boost households’ nonfood spending - rent, bills, medication… @johnshopkinssph.bsky.social
Averaging just a few dollars per person a day, SNAP helps the most vulnerable Americans, including people with low incomes, children, older adults, veterans, and people with disabilities.
