Studies have also shown that there are over 5 million senior who face hunger everyday. Some of the reasons why many of them do is because many of them have medical issues as well as mobility issues which doesn’t allow them to get around like they uses to. This alone puts many of our seniors at a great risk of hunger. Now just imagine, you’re a senior citizen, you work your whole life and now you find yourself struggling to make ends meet. You not only have health issues, but you are also on a fixed income. This choice leaves you with the decision of paying for groceries for your household and buying medicine that will keep you alive. To make matters worst, you really need both in order to stay alive. This is why SNAP is a much-needed program.
