I am a single, disabled, grandmother raising a 13 year old grandchild. I get my disability check, less than $1,000 a month. I pay my rent, utilities, and other bills without any assistance and without any child support from the mother...the father is "unknown". I get $458 a month in SNAP benefits for 2 people. You can do the math if you like, I get $7.53 per person per day to feed us. The average cost per day to eat, cooking at home, is $15 - $25 per day depending on where you live. Most people that receive SNAP benefits spend them like they would real money. Most people buy normal food, not junk food, to last all month and they budget them...like I do. We get half or less than the national average per day to feed our family. SNAP is NOT a flex or anything to be proud of to the NORMAL person.

SNAP and the Thanksgiving Turkey

I’m a 36-year-old parent, and Thanksgiving has always been the one day my family tries to feel whole. This year I planned to buy a turkey and a few sides—something that smells like home. SNAP helps cover our groceries every month, but the timing of benefits isn't the same as the timing of holidays. My benefits hit my card earlier in the month, and by the time Thanksgiving rolled around my account was stretched thin from bills and rent. I went to the store and saw all the turkeys on sale. The price looked doable until I did the math: buying a turkey plus extra sides would wipe out the rest of my monthly food money. I stood there thinking about my kids’ faces, the neighbors who always come by, and the idea that a holiday meal shouldn’t be a luxury. I ended up buying only a small chicken and some canned yams. We made it through, but the meal felt patched together. Many families juggle benefit timing, pay schedules, and seasonal needs. Is the program’s monthly cadence unintentionally making holidays harder for low-income households? Should there be a way to adjust benefit timing or provide targeted holiday support so everyone can have that one familiar meal? #SNAPLife #SNAPVoices

Contributing authors: Jessica Levy and Elena Seeley, with support from Katherine Albertson, Amy Hauer, and Anna Poe 2025 was a year marked by immense uncertainty. Cuts to nutrition assistance and climate smart agriculture programs in the United States, the dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development, and declining Official Development Assistance from countries including France, Germany, and the United Kingdom have raised hard questions about what the future holds. But around the world there is so much resilience and excitement as organizations prove food and agriculture systems can be a solution to our most pressing social and environmental challenges. They are establishing models that nourish children and support local farmers. They are creating more opportunities for women and young farmers to become leaders in their communities. And they are cultivating new and innovative partnerships to fund and scale the solutions already working on the ground. As we enter 2026, here are 126 organizations and initiatives to learn about, engage with, and support as they work to build a more equitable, regenerative, and delicious future. 1.

29 November 25 The Treachery of the Feast Day Remnants THE COURTYARD GAZETTE SHEET My most distinguished readers, the Feast Day has passed, yet a more cunning peril now lingers upon every sideboard in the land. I speak of the remnants, those silent betrayers resting in covered dishes as though they possess virtue. The grand turkey, once carried to the table in triumph, now lies carved into uncertain slabs whose loyalty declines with each turning hour. The gravies thicken like plots. The vegetables wilt as if surrendering to unseen forces. And the stuffing sits heavy as a secret that should never have been kept. Still, there is always one fearless soul in every household who lifts a lid on the third or fourth sunrise and declares, with alarming optimism, that the remnants remain noble. By nightfall, this brave fool is doubled over, cursing his choices and clutching his stomach as if visited by a vengeful spirit. Physicians of the realm warn that the remnants grow treacherous once time has had its way with them. Apothecaries whisper of invisible invaders that flourish in the quiet. Even seasoned cooks insist that a dish may appear unchanged yet harbor mischief capable of felling the strongest knight. Let it be known throughout the Dominion: The remnants of the Feast Day do not age with grace. Their beauty fades. Their purity dissolves. Their loyalty is a myth. Handle them with caution. Taste them only with certainty. Cast them aside when they begin to behave suspiciously. SOCIAL FOOTNOTES AND WHISPERED REMARKS Lady Primrose Tattlewood swears any meat that glows beneath candlelight is courting disaster. Sir Barnaby Wexley believes leftovers gain consciousness by the third sunrise. A veiled figure insists that the stuffing loses its innocence the very moment it ceases to resemble bread. Closer. The Feast may bring joy, but its remnants have ended many a peaceful evening. Guard your health. The remnants will not guard you.
