Border Report Live: Nonprofit ready to help South Texas families losing SNAP benefits
**Summary:**As the U.S. government shutdown looms, millions of Americans, including over three and a half million Texans, face the threat of losing their SNAP benefits, which could leave them without food assistance. The Rio Grande Valley, with over three hundred thousand individuals relying on SNAP, is particularly vulnerable. Local organizations like the AltaCair Foundation are preparing for a surge in demand, while the Food Bank of the Rio Grande Valley reports an increase in families seeking help. The potential loss of SNAP benefits could exacerbate poverty in the region, with nearly one in four families already living below the poverty line.
