Big changes are coming to the SNAP program after the passage of the federal HR1, the “One, Big Beautiful Bill.” Now, to keep SNAP running, states will need to pay for part of the program — something the state legislature must vote on. As the Arkansas General Assembly convenes for their fiscal session in April, it is imperative that advocates speak up for state investment in SNAP. In this town hall, we will talk about how the state fiscal session works, the status of the Arkansas state budget, the need to protect state revenue, and changes coming to SNAP and other key programs that support children and families. Most importantly we will share how you can speak up for Arkansans facing hunger and food insecurity.
