Louisianans are about to go hungry thanks to Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill
Children aren’t the only demographic at risk of going hungry. The National Women’s Law Center (NWLC) found that 55 percent of nonelderly adult SNAP recipients in 2023 were women, and one-third of them were women of color. Over half were single parents.
The NWLC also found that SNAP recipients are more likely to report “excellent or very good” nutrition than those who don’t receive benefits in low-income communities, pointing to the difference these benefits make for health. Pregnant mothers and kids in early childhood with access to SNAP also see improved long-term health outcomes.
