Texas kids need your help. The food insecurity crisis has grown even deeper in Texas. Child food insecurity rose from 22.2% to 26.1% in just one year.

SNAP serves as a lifeline for 1.48 million Texas kids. That’s why the Feeding Texas network of food banks is asking Congress to delay the SNAP cost share. The majority of people on SNAP in Texas are kids and seniors. Rushing policy changes will impact our kids and seniors most.

Too many Texans are struggling to put food on the table. With 6,062,800 Texans facing food insecurity, it’s clear our communities need more support as the cost of basics climb. Texas food banks are seeing record demand.

This is the time to protect food access. That’s why the Feeding Texas network is asking Congress to delay the SNAP cost share, so we can protect the critical lifelines SNAP offers and Texas has time to improve program integrity.

Food insecurity is on the rise in Texas. New data from Feeding America shows that in just one year, Texas saw food insecurity rise from 17.6% to 19.4%. Children and seniors saw significant increases in food insecurity during that time.

Texas food banks are seeing the impacts with record demands. The Feeding Texas network of food banks is calling on Congress to delay the SNAP cost share, because SNAP is our most effective tool to fight hunger. For every one meal a food bank provides, SNAP provides nine. This rushed policy change could drastically cut SNAP when Texans need it most.

After a year of the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” Texas is seeing large drops in SNAP participation, particularly for children.

At the same time, Texas food banks are seeing huge demand for emergency food assistance. These patterns strongly suggest that new eligibility restrictions and expanded work requirements are making it harder for eligible Texans to stay enrolled.

For the first time, Texas will be required to pay $709 million per year for SNAP if new payment accuracy standards aren’t met.

Texas is getting less time to avoid these high penalties than other states. States like Alaska, with much higher payment accuracy errors, will get two more years. Texas regularly met these accuracy standards before the pandemic – our state agencies need more time and investment to get back there.
