The additional Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits that many families relied on during the pandemic have ceased as of March 1.
The program was greatly expanded during the pandemic as many people lost their jobs and needed extra assistance.
Food banks are concerned this expiration may cause food insecurity for more families. Below, find food banks for counties across Northeast Ohio, along with contact information for those who may need it.
