US EditionMass. Households Face Food Affordability Issues Amid SNAP Benefit Cuts
ALABAMA, JUN 18 – Proposed SNAP budget cuts could close hundreds of Alabama grocery stores and risk food access for nearly 400,000 households and 333,590 children, experts warn.
- The U.S. House passed the 'Big Beautiful Bill' cutting SNAP's budget by nearly $300 billion, threatening food assistance for 800,000 Alabama participants.
- These cuts follow deep international aid reductions and worsening economic conditions that have already increased food insecurity in Alabama and Yemen.
- Analysis shows 18 Alabama counties with 650 SNAP-dependent retailers face high risk of closures, endangering food access especially in rural and Black Belt areas.
- SNAP contributes to 7,800 jobs and $350 million in wages across Alabama, and experts warn that cutting this support could lead to higher food prices, additional job losses, and deteriorating health outcomes.
- If cuts proceed, thousands of stores may close, hunger would soar, and economic and health crises could deepen in vulnerable communities across Alabama and Yemen.
