I thought about families who stretch benefits to the last dollar. And others who don’t have to. Same program. Very different realities. Is that fairness—or flexibility? #SNAPUse #BenefitSpending #FoodAccess #Inequality00Share
Taylor Dean+FollowUsing SNAP to Stock a PartyBefore Thanksgiving, someone used SNAP to stock drinks, snacks, and hot food for a party. Many guests clearly weren’t SNAP-eligible. After the holiday, food pantry lines grew longer. The benefits didn’t vanish—they were used early by the few. #SNAPUse #HolidaySpending #FoodAid #CommunityStrain01Share
