• In FY 2023, four in five (79%) SNAP households included either a child, an elderly individual, or a non-elderly individual with a disability. These households contained 88% of all SNAP participants and received 83% of all SNAP benefits.
Between five and six billion dollars are available now for regular SNAP benefits in SNAP's Contingency Reserve - as the USDA and the OMB have ruled in the past.

And Jesus said...
“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink...'
“And the righteous will ask, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink...?'
“And the King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’"
It wasn't Jesus' intention here to give advice on budgeting fiscal resources or resolving government shutdowns... But it was his intention here to provide for us who follow him our one and only starting place for discerning and determining how our tax dollars should be spent and the need to restore a government whose only business is serving the people of our nation and the world.
