More than 700,000 Cook County residents rely on SNAP, and federal policy changes now under debate could reshape who qualifies, how benefits are administered, and what local systems are left to absorb. This conversation brings together Cook County President Toni Preckwinkle, Greater Chicago Food Depository CEO Kate Maehr, and University of Chicago Professor Carolyn Barnes to examine what those changes mean in practice, how local government and community organizations are responding, and what the research tells us about which interventions actually work when federal policy shifts faster than local capacity can adapt.
This event is part of an ongoing series cohosted by the University of Chicago Crown Family School and the City Club of Chicago which convenes elected officials, community leaders, and researchers to examine critical issues shaping Chicago’s diverse communities.
