Trump food-program cuts will slash San Antonio Food bank's budget by $3 million

The San Antonio Food Bank will lose $3 million in federal funding — or roughly 20% of its annual food-purchasing budget — due to program shutdowns ordered by the Trump administration, the Express-News reports. The cuts come as the nonprofit is already bracing for a jump in demand because of economic instability created by the White House's trade wars and its massive and ongoing layoffs of federal employees. "These tariffs, these job cuts will impact an important building block of life for people in San Antonio — and that's food, that's nourishment," Food Bank CEO Eric Cooper told the Current earlier this month.
