Let's Localize This Podcast: Gone In a SNAP
Lending libraries, food banks and SNAP benefits may seem unrelated, but they share a common theme. In this episode of Let’s Localize This, Morgan Colbert travels across Metro Atlanta to explore that theme through the stories of three people affected by the government shutdown and the pause in SNAP benefits. Tyra Perkins, a stay at home mom from Stonecrest, describes what it was like to suddenly lose her benefits. Ian Sager, a helpful neighbor, shares how he found a way to support others using his neighborhood’s lending library. Abby Thompson, an education and outreach specialist with the Atlanta Community Food Bank, offers insight into the broader impact on Georgians. Tune in to discover the common theme each of them highlights and the message they want viewers at home to understand.
