Weld Food Bank warns of possible SNAP changes that could affect recipients

A proposed federal rule could make more than six million people ineligible for SNAP by 2029, prompting concern from food assistance providers in Colorado. Weld Food Bank CEO Stephanie Gausch said demand has risen 50%, from 500 to 1,000 people seeking emergency help, and the organization now serves an average of 1,800 people daily. The USDA says the changes aim to narrow eligibility and reduce federal spending.
