SNAP

Massachusetts residents could lose access to food and health assistance under provisions of the recently passed federal budget law known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” according to two new analyses.

Most Americans who buy food at the grocery store with benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, already work.

After 10 years of service to neighborhoods across Greater Boston, a local nonprofit community grocery chain officially closed its doors on May 12.

A statewide initiative is working to address food insecurity by connecting residents to nutritional support through MassHealth.

As families convene for the holidays and people stress over what their more eccentric relatives might decide to say at the dinner table, others worry about how their budget can make this holiday season cheerful for the whole family.
