                                In an average month in 2024, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as the Food Stamp Program, helped over 41 million low-income individuals and families across the United States afford a nutritionally adequate diet. This critical federal program serves as the nation’s most important defense against hunger and food insecurity.
