Episode Details

Summer break leaves millions of Texas kids — 44% of students — hungry, as school meal programs vanish and families scramble to feed their children amid soaring food costs and tight budgets. With food boxes now costing $75 instead of $50, food banks are overwhelmed, serving over 2,000 families weekly. The fallout? Kids struggle academically, face health issues, and lose focus — a cycle that can derail their future. While summer programs and pantries help, they can’t match the scale of SNAP — exposing a gaping hole in year-round nutrition safety nets.
