Need help for hunger in these troubling times?

For millions of Americans, the coronavirus pandemic is causing grave financial hardships. Yesterday, it was reported that the number of jobless claims soared past 3.3 million, the most in history.

Especially during a pandemic, it’s important to stay safe and healthy—which means staying well fed. Across the U.S., many are turning to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as “food stamps,” to meet their nutritional needs.

Here, we walk you through the process of applying for food aid.

We answer questions like:

  • What items does SNAP cover?
  • How much do I receive?
  • Who accepts EBT cards?
  • What information will I need to apply?

Should the government expand food benefits?

"The Real People Want to Get Back to Work ASAP"

President Donald Trump is continuing to give signs that he wants to loosen restrictions on businesses reopening and employees returning to work.

"The LameStream Media is the dominant force in trying to get me to keep our Country closed as long as possible in the hope that it will be detrimental to my election success," the president tweeted on Wednesday. "The real people want to get back to work ASAP. We will be stronger than ever before!"

A day earlier, Trump told Fox News that he "would love to have the country, opened up and just raring to go by Easter."

Should Trump undo stay-at-home orders for the good of the economy?
