For many, the extra assistance provided through programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) was not just helpful—it was essential.

Now, as those benefits have ended and families, often having to choose between groceries, rent, and utilities.

However, no one knows when recipients will be getting these benefits and how much. We all know how important food programs are the American families. So, in the meantime, 105.3RNB will be providing details about local resources to help families fill in the gap.
