House Budget Bill Could Cut Millions in Food Aid. What that Could Mean for Local Food Banks

  • In 2024, the U.S. House approved a budget bill that includes cuts of nearly $300 billion from federal food assistance efforts, specifically targeting the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program .
  • This bill aims to reduce fraud and waste in SNAP, but it would shift costs to states and result in millions losing benefits starting in 2028.
  • Key estimates predict over 3 million people will exit SNAP due to increased work requirements, with many vulnerable households losing more than $3,000 annually.
  • Washington Senator Patty Murray condemned the cuts, stating, "I’m not going to be quiet as they take food from our kids’ mouths," linking cuts to tax breaks for billionaires.
  • The reductions could increase demand on local food banks and strain state resources, raising concerns about rising food insecurity and economic impacts.
