SNAP: US food aid cuts leave pantries bracing for growing demand

With the US food assistance program known as SNAP coming to an end, food pantries across New York are preparing for rising demand.

At Holy Apostles Soup Kitchen in Manhattan, volunteers distribute meals and groceries to hundreds who depend on the aid.

Many low-income families and seniors fear they won’t be able to buy essentials once the benefits stop.

Community organizers warn the cuts could worsen food insecurity, especially in already vulnerable neighborhoods.
