$6 A Day: Gauging the Human & Economic Impact of the Hunger Cliff

Millions of people with low incomes in the U.S. are experiencing a hunger cliff since temporary increases in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits during COVID-19 ended in early 2023. This resulted in benefits averaging a mere $6 a person a day. The impact of the end of the SNAP Emergency Allotments has been felt deeply, not just by households, but by grocers as well. Join us for a webinar that explores the human and economic impact of reductions in SNAP. We will be joined by experts from Propel and the National Grocers Association as they share research that documents this harm. Presenters include: • Toral Patel, Senior Manager of Policy and Partners, Propel • Stephanie Johnson, RDN, Vice President, Government Relations, National Grocers Association • Gina Plata-Nino, JD, SNAP Deputy Director, FRAC
