Dear Friend,
Have you recently left the grocery store wondering how anyone can afford
food? Me too. The truth is not many people can. The rising cost of food is
making it difficult for moms, grandparents, and families to put food on
the table. And worse still, many families who rely on the Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, also called Food Stamps and EBT) saw
their monthly benefits drop in February. Now, even more families are
having to choose between eating and paying rent or other essentials– a
choice no one should have to make.
On top of all of this some extremist members of the House of
Representatives are trying to pass harsh cuts and barriers to access to
nutrition programs like SNAP and WIC in the face of a potential national
budget default. It’s a moral outrage! Why are some lawmakers trying to
hold hungry families hostage while forcing the U.S. economy and government
into default? We know these questions are complicated but we’re here to
help answer your questions!
For too many families, the hunger cliff has been all too real. [ [link removed] ]Join our
second #KeepMarching meeting of 2023 as we talk about the hunger cliff and
the role of SNAP and other federal food assistance programs to help moms
