RaceTrac Chief Executive Officer Max McBrayer, Jr. is scheduled to testify at 9 a.m. that convenience stores help alleviate food insecurity in the United States by providing 24-hour food access for SNAP beneficiaries, especially those living in rural areas.

RaceTrac’s stores, which are open 24 hours a day, process roughly 3 million EBT transactions per year.
