"La inseguridad alimentaria no viene sola."

Así describe José David Gechem lo que ve en Rio Grande Food Project en Albuquerque, donde las familias encuentran una despensa de alimentos, un centro comunitario y un huerto urbano en un solo lugar.

Las familias que conoce trabajan, crían a sus hijos y estiran ingresos fijos para cubrir vivienda, servicios y salud. SNAP les da un apoyo estable para sus compras de alimentos cada mes, y la despensa trabaja de la mano.

"Esa es exactamente la palabra. Se complementan", dice José. "Cuando una familia tiene SNAP, contribuye al bienestar y la estabilidad de esa familia."

Mientras los cambios a SNAP llegan a más hogares, José ve a más familias llegar a sus puertas. Aun así, dice, llegan con buen ánimo y buena actitud. Eso es lo que le da esperanza.

The experiences shared in this report underscore the need to build strong and accountable government nutrition programs, a resilient charitable food system, and solutions that reflect the economic realities families are facing. Neighbors are speaking up, sharing their experiences, and calling for change. Their voices help guide the movement to end hunger toward a future where everyone can access the nutritious food they need to thrive.

In Larimer County, Colorado, Zac Hummel has a front-row view of hunger. Here's what his work at Food Bank for Larimer County has taught him:

"Hunger does not look like one specific person. It can really touch all aspects of our life."

As housing and living costs keep climbing, more neighbors are turning to both their local food bank and SNAP. Zac sees the two as partners: "They are both hunger relief programs and offer different kind of support for our community when they need it."

SNAP's reach is hard to overstate. For every meal the Feeding America network of food banks provides, SNAP provides nine.

And the impact goes beyond the plate. "When SNAP provides food to a family," Zac says, "it's also providing peace of mind for parents and continued educational development for kids."

The cost of food, housing, transportation and health care is still high, and neighbors across the country are finding ways to make it work. But when money is stretched this thin for this long, putting enough nutritious food on the table gets harder, and changes to programs like SNAP add to the pressure.

Food banks are preparing now so neighbors can count on support today and in the months ahead.

As neighbors face sustained pressure on household budgets, a transformative new investment from Walmart strengthens the systems behind food access, helping food banks recover more surplus food, streamline donations through technology and connect people with critical nutrition resources.

Over the next 18 months, this donation is expected to help the Feeding America network rescue 500 million pounds of food while building real, lasting impact for communities nationwide.

Axios has the story below.

Walmart is donating $15M to the nonprofit Feeding America at a time when food inflation remains a challenge for many Americans.

Bea Furbish has shown up for her Maine neighbors since 2002, starting as a volunteer at Mid Coast Hunger Prevention Program, a Good Shepherd Food Bank partner.

Now in her 80s, she gets a food box from that same pantry and uses SNAP for the basics. She still keeps water on hand for neighbors who can't make it in.

Over the years, she's watched the pressure build: more need, fewer donations, rising rents. It's not one thing. It's everything adding up.

"We all need a leg up," she says. "We all do, regardless."

79% of SNAP households include a child, an older adult or a person with a disability. SNAP and local pantries work best together.
