mary01+FollowSNAP cuts threaten NM’s local storesMore than half of New Mexico’s grocery and convenience stores could be in real trouble soon. With new federal SNAP cuts looming, nearly 900 retailers—especially in rural areas—face the risk of major financial losses or even closure. For many small-town grocers, SNAP shoppers make up most of their business. If these cuts go through, it’s not just families on SNAP who’ll feel the pinch—local economies and farmers’ markets could take a huge hit too. How do you think these changes will affect your community or favorite local store? #Food #NewMexico #SNAPcuts00Share
Emily Delgado+FollowFree Lunch Perk at Risk for 850K Kids?Big changes could be coming to school lunches next year! Federal cuts to SNAP (food assistance) mean up to 850,000 kids in North Carolina might lose their free or reduced lunch. Families who used to qualify will have to fill out new forms, and if fewer students get SNAP, some schools could lose free lunch for everyone. This could hit a lot of families hard—let’s hope something changes before next year! #Safety #SNAPcuts #SchoolLunch00Share
Misty Brady+FollowSNAP Cuts Could Hit Millions HardImagine having to choose between eating enough and paying rent. That’s the reality for millions on SNAP as new rules could slash benefits, add strict work requirements, and even ban soda and candy from the shopping list. Some states might ditch SNAP altogether! Families, students, and single parents are freaking out—many say they literally can’t survive without this help. And experts warn: cutting choices doesn’t mean healthier eating, just fewer options for those who need it most. #SNAPcuts #FoodInsecurity #PolicyChanges #Health #BodyHealth7645Share
