Nationwide, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reports that more than 41 million Americans depend on SNAP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud835\udc0b\ud835\udc28\ud835\udc1c\ud835\udc1a\ud835\udc25 \ud835\udc22\ud835\udc26\ud835\udc29\ud835\udc1a\ud835\udc1c\ud835\udc2d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About 10.2 percent of Tipton County\u2019s population receives food assistance each month, which is approximately $1.3 million in monthly food-purchasing power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without that funding, local grocery stores, small markets and farmers\u2019 markets could experience a loss in sales. The lapse could mean heightened demand for community assistance and changes in household spending at local stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Food insecurity in Tipton County is currently 14.5% percent. That rate could rise sharply due to the pause in benefits, increasing demand for food assistance through churches and charitable organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud835\udc13\ud835\udc22\ud835\udc29\ud835\udc2d\ud835\udc28\ud835\udc27 \ud835\udc02\ud835\udc28\ud835\udc2e\ud835\udc27\ud835\udc2d\ud835\udc32 \ud835\udc1f\ud835\udc28\ud835\udc28\ud835\udc1d-\ud835\udc1a\ud835\udc2c\ud835\udc2c\ud835\udc22\ud835\udc2c\ud835\udc2d\ud835\udc1a\ud835\udc27\ud835\udc1c\ud835\udc1e \ud835\udc2b\ud835\udc1e\ud835\udc2c\ud835\udc28\ud835\udc2e\ud835\udc2b\ud835\udc1c\ud835\udc1e\ud835\udc2c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" height=\"16\" width=\"16\" alt=\"\ud83e\udd56\" src=\"https:\/\/static.xx.fbcdn.net\/images\/emoji.php\/v9\/t51\/2\/16\/1f956.png\"> 1st &amp;
