5 people on SNAP share what the food program gets right — and wrong
72% Informative
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) helps one in eight Americans put food on the table.
More than 62% of SNAP recipients are part of families with children.
In 2022 , 20% of children under 18 nationwide were in families receiving SNAP benefits.
Rising food costs and eligibility restrictions make it challenging for many SNAP recipients to meet their needs.
Megan, who lives alone and has chronic Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses, was on SNAP for seven years .
Ryan Wilson , a disabled videographer from Colorado , says SNAP helped him survive but not thrive.
Megan is concerned because SNAP benefits don’t automatically increase when grocery prices go up.
Laura is grateful for the SNAP benefits she receives, but thinks some aspects of the program need to be changed.
She usually uses her benefits to buy frozen fruits and vegetables, chicken thighs and seasonal fruit and vegetables.
She also wishes that restrictions on what SNAP recipients can buy, such as candy and hot foods, would be removed.
