May 28th is World Hunger Day and June is designated as Hunger Awareness Month — both designed to raise awareness of food insecurity in the US and around the world.
A number of efforts are underway to make seniors more aware of SNAP benefits they may be eligible for. SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) was previously known as the food stamp program founded in 1939 by the Roosevelt administration.
Today, it’s providing food for many families including low-income seniors. If you know of someone experiencing food insecurity, direct them to the resources available through SNAP including an easier application process.
