N C food bank warns it won't be able to meet demand after SNAP cuts
The state's largest food bank doesn't believe it will be able to match the demand for food once the Trump administration's cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Medicaid kick in.
Why it matters: The Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina supports free food markets and pantries across a 34-county region from the Triangle to the coast.
State of play: Already, the Food Bank of CENC has seen an increase in hunger in the past year, with more than 600,000 people using its services in some capacity. Two years ago, that number was 450,000, according to the food bank.
