The Food Bank of Central Louisiana is a non-profit organization whose mission is to alleviate hunger

11/02/2026

According to the Louisiana Department of Health, from July 2025 to June 2026, SNAP participation in our food bank’s service area declined by 21.1%, from 70,814 to 55,846. That includes more than 7,000 children who no longer receive SNAP benefits. Program cuts and stricter requirements to receive benefits have eliminated thousands from the rolls, while wages are stagnant and food costs continue to rise. SNAP is our most effective tool in reducing food insecurity and hunger.

Fewer neighbors receiving SNAP means more people visiting the food bank and our community partner programs, straining already scarce resources. Donations are critical to ensuring we can continue to meet the need. Please consider a gift today.
