The current crisis has made putting food on the table harder for hundreds of thousands of families across Pennsylvania. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is more critical than ever to keeping families fed. We need Congress to strengthen SNAP so that it can do more to fight hunger and help our economy recover.

Join us TODAY for a #SNAPMatters Twitterstorm to send our lawmakers an important message: Increase the maximum SNAP benefit by 15 percent!

DETAILS:  Wednesday, April 22, from 3-4 PM Eastern, join the Center for American Progress, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, the Coalition on Human Needs, Feeding America, the Food Research & Action Center, and the National Women’s Law Center.

If you don't "tweet" please pass this on to someone you know who does!
