Food sellers are part of the city’s ‘nutrition pipelines,’ and many rely on SNAP for 50% of sales, Outlier Media reports: planetdetroit.org/2025/11/detr...
What the SNAP freeze means for Detroit grocers
SNAP funding cuts and delays lead Detroiters to reduce food spending, affecting grocery stores and heightening food insecurity.
