As the government shutdown continues into its seventh week this Wednesday, benefits to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, otherwise known as SNAP or food stamps, have lapsed — meaning at least 275,000 Bexar County residents on the program could be struggling to afford their monthly grocery expenses.
Many of those affected are families with children, placing thousands of San Antonio kids at risk of going hungry. To help ease the strain, here’s a list of a few eateries in the city offering free fare for children.
