Take action now to help protect this crucial program. |

BREAKING! Congress could cut SNAP benefits for millions of people. Send your letter right now and tell your lawmakers: No cuts to SNAP!

This is urgent. Congress is considering cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) that could impact all 42 million people who use the program to help put food on the table. The best chance to stop this catastrophic mistake is by using your voice! We've set a goal to send 15,000 letters to lawmakers ASAP, urging them to protect SNAP and prioritize families and individuals already facing hard times.
We must act fast: Write to your members of Congress right now and do your part in sending 15,000 letters >>
In Feeding America's Elevating Voices: Insights Report last year, our neighbors facing hunger described just what SNAP means to them and how they use it:
|
“ |
"When I got cut off of food stamps, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to make my car payment."
|
|
|
"While receiving EBT, we still make an effort to get the most out of the funds by taking advantage of sales, discounts, etc."
|
” |
|
|
Families in this country are already facing so many hardships. Seventy-eight percent of people facing hunger surveyed told us that they have made hard tradeoffs to afford food for themselves and their families—sacrificing essentials like shoes and clothes, not paying bills, or skipping medical appointments.
Tell lawmakers: Every dollar counts. Protect SNAP and make it easier for families to put dinner on the table, not harder!
Thank you for acting quickly.
Sincerely,
Kristina Kus
Sr. Advocacy Manager
