Darion is a healthy-looking, young girl in her 20s. She and her parents all participate in SNAP. Darion has been homeless since the age of 18 and has been forced to beg for food on multiple occasions. Without much of an income, Darion is unable to feed herself, so SNAP has provided her with the means to purchase groceries. SNAP has helped her to get back to a healthy weight and avoid becoming undernourished. Darion strongly believes that SNAP is a necessary program for those who are homeless, and not just those who have steady housing.“It’s getting cold now, and it’s hard enough to try and get money. When you are trying to get money for something like clothes, you have to choose between eating today and getting a pack of socks that I really need. Food stamps make it so you don’t have to choose that way.”
