SCAN’s fourth Day of Action is focused on food insecurity, so let’s talk about the Farm Bill.
As a mom, I know growing bodies need nutritious meals — and I’m all too familiar with how expensive groceries get, too. Take it from me: $6 a day can’t buy enough fresh, healthy food.
But that’s what our nation’s biggest nutrition assistance program, SNAP, provides per child. Meanwhile, in other countries, millions barely have anything to eat.
Congress is releasing Farm Bill proposals as we speak — and critical hunger-fighting benefits are on the chopping block.
John, this legislation is essential for children here at home and worldwide. If lawmakers don’t protect and improve the Farm Bill’s critical programs, the global hunger crisis will only get worse.
Kids in the U.S. need stronger SNAP benefits, while international communities need better support to end chronic hunger and be able to feed themselves.
