grocery costs

Beginning Oct. 1, states will be responsible for 75% of the administrative cost of operating SNAP, up from the previous 50% share. Illinois budget officials estimate that change will cost the state approximately $80 million more each year. #snap #foodstamps

Two semi-trucks loaded with essential groceries — including chicken, beef, ham, cheese, cooking oil, flour, pasta, pancake mix, and other staples — will be handed out to residents beginning at 11 a.m. #foods
