My son turned six this year. He loves strawberry cream cake, but for us, that’s always been a luxury. In the past, we’d put candles on bread and call it a cake.

Many people say SNAP shouldn’t be used for “non-essential items.” But in that moment, I gave him dignity and joy — just like any other child. 👉 Should SNAP allow “non-essential” purchases like birthday cakes? #SNAPLife #SNAPTalk
