Food Pantries Worried About Upcoming Cuts to Food Assistance Programs
UNITED STATES, JUL 7 – The bill reduces access to food assistance, healthcare, and education for millions, with an estimated 3 million losing SNAP eligibility, while increasing immigration enforcement funding.
- On July 4, 2025, President Donald Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill into law, changing SNAP and Medicaid policies nationwide.
- The bill updates work obligations by requiring physically capable individuals under 65 years old to complete 80 hours of work monthly and places the financial responsibility for SNAP funding onto state governments beginning in 2028.
- Food pantries like Families Matter in Monaca, serving around 600 families weekly, are already strained by rising demand and prepare for further increases due to federal funding cuts.
- The Congressional Budget Office estimates nearly 11 million Americans could lose health insurance and 3 million may become ineligible for food assistance under the new legislation.
- Opponents warn the law will hit vulnerable communities hard and raise burdens on states and food banks, potentially worsening access to nutritious food and healthcare services.
