Food banks prepare for spike as pandemic SNAP benefits end

Season 2023 Episode 59 | 7m 11s

But Wednesday, those benefits will expire, meaning a smaller monthly food budget for nearly 30 million Americans. William Brangham visited a food bank in rural Virginia that’s gearing up to meet the increased need this cut will likely trigger.
