Thousands of Athens-Clarke County families suddenly lost their SNAP benefits, and the ripple effect has been immediate. Local nonprofits like City of Refuge Athens are seeing lines form hours before food distributions, with demand jumping by over 20%. School programs are scrambling to keep up as more kids need weekend food bags. For many, this isn’t just about missing a meal—it’s about the stress of not knowing if there will be dinner at all. The shutdown may be over, but the struggle to put food on the table is far from it. How is your neighborhood coping? #Safety #AthensGA #FoodInsecurity
