SNAP

Congress is debating the biggest SNAP cuts in history—and with 3M Texans on food assistance, the impact could stretch from dinner tables to grocery stores statewide.

Proposed federal SNAP cuts could reshape how over 800,000 Louisiana residents buy groceries—and put pressure on stores, local economies, and family budgets statewide.

Louisiana families that receive SNAP Benefits might soon notice their purchasing power has changed and some items will no longer be included under the program.

Texas families who rely on the Lone Star Card for SNAP Benefits should double check those accounts immediately. Your spending power has changed.

Louisiana families will want to double check their SNAP/EBT Card today. Major changes in the program could affect your purchasing power as you feed your family.

It appears that for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic, Louisiana will not participate in a summer feeding program that helps the poor.

More than 130,000 Louisiana families will see their SNAP benefits decrease in January, according to the Department of Children and Family Services.

The dates have been released for this year's Shreveport Farmers Market and they're proud to announce they're helping families again by doubling their SNAP benefits.

For the first time ever, you can have your SNAP benefits doubled at the Shreveport Farmers' Market thanks to Louisiana Healthcare Connections.

If the winter storms made you come out of pocket with any expenses, you can qualify for help.

If you qualify for SNAP, Medicaid, or unemployment benefits you might be eligible for free internet service on your smartphone.

The benefits will go up by about 15 percent.
