Significant changes to SNAP (food) benefits - Monthly benefits for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) were being supplemented by an additional allotment as approved by the government during the pandemic. That supplement ended last month. For many families, the supplement was an essential support. Please see the posted notices with resources to help anyone in need of food and consider supporting one of the many great organizations providing food assistance to our neighbors here in Fairfax County. I'm going to tag a few of the organizations in the comments. https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/familyservices/public-assistance-employment-services/changes-to-snap-benefits
