Based on new guidance from USDA, SNAP recipients may continue to redeem benefits issued to their EBT card prior to Nov. 1, 2025, at any SNAP authorized retailer. More here: https://t.co/wkU3NPZ4Iy

Low income families and individuals rely on these programs to provide a stable foundation they can build on to improve their lives and the lives of their children. Seniors rely on them to stay healthy and active. Communities across GA lose if these cuts happen-take action below!

SNAP & Medicaid help our hardworking neighbors access the food and medical care we all need to thrive.

We ask our representatives to protect essential food and health care program funding.

Lots of conversation about new work requirements for Medicaid and SNAP. Good time to revisit this Uncertain Hours podcast series on how they actually work and play out in the lives of people. Spoiler: it's not encouraging https://t.co/J3TcxklYG7

So saddened to hear of the passing of Charlie Bliss. One of those people whose contributions to the Atlanta community infinitely outstripped his public recognition. He helped so many with his kindness, intelligence and passion for justice. https://t.co/jcwp2qxpAb

The House is expected to soon vote on a budget resolution laying the groundwork for $230+ billion in cuts to #SNAP. It's not possible to cut that much from SNAP without widespread harm to low-income families. Our new paper shows the impact in your state: https://t.co/YNLYDuSUIk

SNAP customers who were affected by #HurricaneHelene can request replacement benefits on our website. If you are a SNAP customer who lost food during storm-related power outages that lasted four hours or more, complete a Food Loss Replacement Form.

@ATL311 Bumping this again as it has not been resolved yet. Thanks!

@atl311 large metal pipe discarded at intersection of Bolton Rd and Peyton. Thanks!

[Ty Jones Cox @TyJonesCox]

The Ag Appropriations bill released by House Rs includes $ to test restricting the foods #SNAP households can buy. This is misguided for many reasons, but here's the bottom line: People should be able choose the foods that best meet their needs, regardless of how they pay.

[Ty Jones Cox @TyJonesCox]

The most common barrier to a healthy diet reported by #SNAP participants is the affordability of healthy food. Restricting SNAP purchases won't fix that problem—and the ~$30 billion SNAP cut that House Rs plan to advance in their farm bill markup tomorrow would make it worse.

We held our last food drive of the year! Thx to the @ACFB, we fed over 15K of food to over 700 families! Shout out to all our @JLewisInvictus F/S for supporting! Special thx to @lblackwood_lmsw @JLIA_JLC @simplymzg @Antonio_Grant1 @JLIADavis_APS @DrNBall @APMitchell_ @h_greenhill

[Jon West @jonvwest]

@ATL311 Any update on this case? Signal still out. Thanks!

[Jon West @jonvwest]

@atl311 pedestrian signal down again at intersection of Bolton and James Jackson. Note: if repair team could attach it to the light pole they won’t have to come out every 3 months. Too many mail and fuel trucks make that turn for the current placement. Thanks!

@ATL311 @ATLParksandRec thanks!
