More than one in four Texas children lacked adequate access to food in 2010, according to a report released Monday by Feeding America, a charity focused on relieving hunger. In May, 1.9 million Texas children at risk of going hungry received help from the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as food stamps. In total, more than 3.6 million Texans received financial assistance from the SNAP last month. And over the last year, from April 2011 to May 2012, Texas received $5.2 billion from the program to help feed hungry families. That funding had an estimated impact of $9.4 billion on the Texas economy, according to calculations by the Tribune using an economic stimulus multiplier determined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Federal lawmakers are currently considering reducing funding for the SNAP nationally in an effort to reduce federal spending. The U.S. House Committee on Agriculture recently passed a bill that would cut SNAP by $33 billion. The committee includes three lawmakers from Texas, including U.S. Rep. Henry Cueller, D-Laredo, whose district has a lower-than-average food insecurity rate, but contains Starr County, which has the greatest percent of its population enrolled in the SNAP.
“If SNAP is cut, our food banks will not be able to shoulder the difference,” said Celia Cole, chief executive officer of the Texas Food Bank Network in a press release. “Our members of Congress need to commit to our collective investment in child nutrition, or risk the consequences of increased child hunger in our state.”
Use these interactive maps to compare Feeding America's stats on food insecurity across Texas to the number of Texans who received federal SNAP benefits in May and to the economic impact of SNAP funding Texas received over the last year.
