Families Lost Their Food Stamps, Now They’re OUT OF FOOD Before Payday

Families are running out of food before payday, and the fridge is empty days before the next check comes in. In this video, parents show what that looks like from the inside: a $1,100 monthly EBT balance that dropped to zero with four kids, $1,000 in food stamps stolen off a card, two hours in a food bank line for five cans and a small bag of rice, a single-income family of four left with $0 after bills until the next paycheck, a mom of six who eats once a day so the kids can eat, and a laid-off 48-year-old heading to a food pantry for the first time. We look at why the money runs out before the month does, what happens when SNAP benefits get cut or skimmed, and how to keep a household fed cheaply until payday.
