Help Protect SNAP Grocery Support for NC Families

Hunger in North Carolina has reached levels not seen in decades. 

More than 1.2 million people in our state rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to put food on the table — including children, seniors, veterans, people with disabilities, and workers earning low wages. Meanwhile, food banks and local partners are serving record numbers of households and emergency food providers are stretched beyond capacity.

New federal policy changes stand to make matters worse by undermining access to SNAP for families who need it most. 

This includes implementation timelines tied to new SNAP cost-sharing requirements and 'quality control' sampling periods that were disrupted by the government shutdown.
