How changes to SNAP benefits impact the Kent community

Sydney Brown, TV2 Reporter

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits have decreased to pre-pandemic levels in March, and Portage County residents are starting to see the effects.

TV2’s Sydney Brown spoke with resources on campus and in the community to learn how students can still receive assistance.
