The Food Depository says SNAP enrollment has declined sharply since major changes to the program were enacted under the federal One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025. #snap #foodstamps

The main bill the coalition wants passed is SB 3277, which would create a program to automatically give recipients seeing a change or stop in federal benefits a one-time payment of $600 – representing about three months worth of the average SNAP subsidy. #snap #centersquare

“Our investment is not only in food access—it’s an investment in better student outcomes.” #food #citycolleges

The expanded effort will add enhanced grocery markets, frozen meal options, snack stations, apprenticeships, and improved access to public benefits. #foods

Breakthrough Urban Ministries, Greater Chicago Food Depository and St. James Cathedral each will receive $1,500 donations from Bally’s Chicago, helping provide essential meals and support to those in need across the city. #food
