Food banks across Pennsylvania are struggling to keep up in the face of SNAP cuts, economic pain

Food banks across Pennsylvania are struggling due to a combination of economic challenges, including inflation, rising gas prices, tariffs, and energy costs. Leaders cite changes to the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), specifically new rules passed in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, as a major factor contributing to increased client demand. This has led to significant increases in new clients at local food bank facilities.
