The closure of nearly 1,000 Family Dollar stores across the U.S. is significantly affecting low-income families who rely on food benefits. Families, like that of Latrina Begley in Nashville, are losing access to affordable groceries, creating a greater strain on already limited resources, particularly in areas identified as food deserts. The company links these closures to decreased sales associated with cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), exacerbating food insecurity in vulnerable communities.
