SNAP changes hit Englewood hard

Starting February 1, new SNAP work rules are putting thousands of Illinois residents—including many in Englewood—at risk of losing their food benefits. Folks like Kenny Robinson, who’s been volunteering at a local pantry, now have to work or volunteer at least 80 hours a month to keep their assistance. The catch? Even people with health issues, criminal records, or those caring for teens are affected. Many are scrambling to file for exemptions, but confusion and fear are running high. How do you think these changes will impact our neighbors and community? #Safety #Englewood #SNAP
