Las Vegas Food Pantry Faces Increased Demand Amid SNAP Changes
The After Market, a hybrid grocery store and food pantry in Las Vegas, is experiencing unprecedented demand due to changes in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and rising living costs. Founded by Pastor DeWayne McCoy, the store sells groceries to fund its adjacent pantry, which provides free food to those in need. Recent changes to SNAP eligibility and economic challenges have led to a significant drop in sales and increased reliance on the pantry, particularly among seniors. The situation reflects broader trends in food insecurity across Southern Nevada.
