Dear John,
Congress took important steps this week to get food to hungry children and help vulnerable families. But they didn't go far enough.
The suffering and displacement caused by the pandemic will last much longer than the outbreak itself. People need relief today and as unemployment soars, we'll need a plan for recovery in the future.
|
Join us today in urging Congress to pass a comprehensive stimulus package that supports both local economies and families.
|
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Act (SNAP) is America's most important tool for getting food to kids and families in need. It has also been shown to be an extremely effective stimulus to the economy. But SNAP wasn't built for a crisis of this magnitude. Congress needs to take immediate action to expand SNAP benefits and prevent overwhelming hunger in America.
How we take care of the most vulnerable members of our nation is what defines us. Please take a minute to urge Congress to take the necessary steps to prevent a widespread hunger disaster.
Thanks for all you do. And please stay safe.

Sincerely,
Lisa Davis Senior Vice President No Kid Hungry Campaign
