D-SNAP Is Part of an Equitable Response to the Climate Crisis
Soon, D-SNAP will help those impacted by Hurricane Helene — heralded as the worst hurricane of the modern era.5 With each passing year, people in America have experienced some of the costliest and most destructive storms on record.6 The climate crisis is increasing the frequency, intensity, and destruction of extreme weather events across the U.S.7
Hunger is compounded by disasters and emergencies that affect food distribution, including extreme weather events, and D-SNAP fills the gap by providing participants with emergency benefits for food.
