With the withdrawal of COVID-19 programs underway, millions of college students across the country could potentially lose access to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), commonly known as food stamps, as life in the United States returns to normal. During the pandemic, the U.S. Department of Agriculture relaxed the requirements for college students to access SNAP benefits, adding as many as 3 million people to the program. But in July, those relaxed requirements expired, meaning the entire program will revert to pre-pandemic rules throughout 2024. As food insecurity intensifies for students at campuses across the country, members of the Lion’s Pantry are working to feed Penn State.
