Illinois Ends Two Food Programs After Trump Cuts Funding


Published on 2025-03-04 23:00:51 - Newsweek
  Print publication without navigation

  • The Illinois Department of Agriculture announced the end of the Local Food Purchase Assistance Program and Resilient Food Systems Infrastructure Program.

The article from Newsweek discusses how Illinois has been forced to terminate two food assistance programs due to funding cuts initiated by former President Donald Trump. These programs, known as the Illinois Link Match and the Double Up Food Bucks, were designed to help low-income families purchase fresh produce at farmers' markets by matching their SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits. The funding for these initiatives was part of the SNAP-Ed program, which saw a significant reduction in its budget. The cuts, which were part of the 2018 Farm Bill, have led to the discontinuation of these programs, affecting thousands of families who relied on the additional support to afford healthier food options. The article highlights the broader implications of these cuts, including increased food insecurity and reduced access to nutritious foods for vulnerable populations in Illinois.
