In Texas, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is a vital lifeline for thousands of low-income families and seniors struggling to fulfill their basic food needs.
Designed to complement food budgets, this federal program, managed at the state level, provides users with access to nutritious and needed food via an electronic debit card known as the Lone Star Card.
The importance of the program becomes evident when considering its wide reach across the state. With millions of residents relying on these benefits to put food on the table, any changes in policies, payment amounts or eligibility requirements have a direct and significant impact on the lives of the community.
