📢 Important Resource for Families:
Feeding your children when benefits like Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) are delayed or reduced can be stressful, and you’re not alone. The AAP’s HealthyChildren.org has published a helpful article with guidance, tips, and support.
Here are some key takeaways:
✅ Check your EBT card balance to make sure you know what’s still available.
âś… Reach out to local food banks, churches, or community emergency programs. Many are stepping up to help.
âś… For families with young children, avoid watering down formula or using homemade recipes, as they can be unsafe.
