Some Texas families impacted by SNAP cuts; food banks brace for direct hit

LEANDER, Texas (KXAN) — Chari Seeley happily looks at a list of items.

She points to the cabbage and cheese. A few seconds later she shouts, "whipping cream!" It's not something she would usually get but she explained it's for a special occasion. 

"It's my birthday," she sang, laughing. "Yay!!"

The breast cancer survivor said she relies on Hill Country Community Ministries food pantry for a few staples after her Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or SNAP benefits were cut earlier this year.
