- Title
I Run a Food Pantry, But It's Not Enough. We Need SNAP.

- Abstract
The article discusses the importance of government nutrition programs, such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), in addressing food insecurity in the United States. The author, who runs a food pantry, emphasizes that while pantries play a critical role, they are not a long-term solution. SNAP is highlighted as the nation's most effective anti-hunger program, reducing hunger and improving outcomes for children. The article also highlights the need for a livable minimum wage and adequate funding for SNAP to ensure that individuals and families do not have to rely on food pantries to meet their basic needs.
