Taking Care of Yourself and Others—Snap to It!
On today’s episode, Delbert is NOT on the green couch joining in on the conversation with Hess—because of the SNAP benefits being paused, she is has been asked by more schools to help kids with food insecurity—her time this morning, is taking care of those burdens being placed on families and kids. Hess wanted to still show up because it is important for you know how it affects so many, including the helpers like Delbert. SNAP is an important federal program since 1964 that helps families with food insecurity. It is tied to the Farm Bill, and is implemented and distributed through each state. A family of 4 could get as much as $900 dollars a month to buy food related items, and it allows them to use other money’s to pay their rent and other expenses. It helps them afford healthy foods like fruits and vegetables. Hunger causes other social ills to arise, like kids not being able to study and concentrate, businesses losing income, losing housing, crime rising, etc. Be a helper, do what you can!!
Peace and Love!
