Texas continues to be considered one of the ‘hungriest’ states in the USA. This is due to the more than 3.7 million Texans who have low incomes and rely on SNAP benefits to feed their families month to month. Most Texans are eligible not only for food assistance but also for other programs that support veterans, the elderly, minors, and people with disabilities.
SNAP has been characterized as the most successful hunger prevention initiative in the United States. This program provides money to eligible families to purchase essential foods and thus alleviate their economic burdens. However, certain requirements must be met to access the monthly payment.
Known as SNAP coupons, this program only allows the purchase of healthy, essential foods such as vegetables, proteins, grains, dairy products, fruits, and non-alcoholic beverages at all authorized stores. The purchase of alcohol, tobacco, and vitamins is prohibited.
