FORT WORTH, TEXAS, July 3, 2025— Congress has passed a budget bill that includes major changes to programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which has long been a crucial support for millions of Americans facing hunger. These changes will shift costs to states and local communities, making it even harder for our most vulnerable neighbors to access the food they need to stay healthy and nourished.
These changes will add to the strain already felt by local partners and charitable food systems. When federal support is reduced, the need doesn’t go away—it shifts to local communities, which are already working hard to help their neighbors through difficult times.
Tarrant Area Food Bank remains steadfast in our mission to ensure every neighbor has access to nutritious food and the resources they need to thrive. Even in the face of these new challenges and strained resources, our commitment to working hand in hand with local partners, volunteers, and supporters is stronger than ever.
Alongside our more than 500 partner agencies across our 13-county service area, Tarrant Area Food Bank will continue to provide nutritious food and essential resources through programs like our Agricultural Hub, Ready to Learn®, and Ready to Nourish. We are committed to helping families access fresh food, improve health, and build stronger communities.
Together, we can continue building a community defined by dignity, compassion, and shared responsibility. We invite everyone to stand with us—by donating, volunteering, or lending your voice—to support our community, Tarrant Area Food Bank, and our local hunger relief network. We will need your support now more than ever to help ensure that no one in our community goes hungry.
