    Virginians suffer as callous, major cuts to food stamps become entrenched

    Virginia's SNAP enrollment dropped nearly 14% between March 2025 and 2026, with 867,000 recipients in 2025 and 754,000 a year later. Critics attribute this to Trump-era food stamp modifications and congressional cuts, causing hardship for low-income and disabled residents. Food banks report increased demand, particularly in rural Southwest Virginia.
