Hello Houston: The Commuter Cut is your connection to the heart of the Bayou City, but shorter, for our busy commuters. Every weekday, we dive deep into the stories that matter to Houstonians — from breaking local news to cultural happenings, community voices, and the everyday joys and challenges of life in our vibrant city.
In today's edition of "The Commuter Cut," we learn about Steel Magnolia Moms and their upcoming holiday market, with their founder and executive director, Elizabeth Elder, holiday market chair Maribel Farish, and volunteer Tiffanie Williams.
Then, we’re joined by Harris County District Attorney Sean Teare, who shares his thoughts on a potential crime spike this month amid a loss of SNAP benefits for nearly half a million residents across Harris County.
Plus, we also hear from Mary Vazquez, Vice President of Community Outreach for United Way of Greater Houston, who discusses the resources available to those in need of support until their partial SNAP benefits are credited to their accounts.
