No child should ever go hungry.
It’s not a controversial take, John. We all envision a future where kids grow up healthy, happy and ready to reach their full potential.
While politicians debate the best way to fight food insecurity, most Americans are on the same page.
This summer, SCAN surveyed voters nationwide – and found common ground among people from all sorts of backgrounds. Here’s what we found:
- 90% of swing voters say food prices are a big problem right now.
- 85% agree that the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is critical for food-insecure families.
-
79% want to increase SNAP benefits to keep up with inflation and help parents pay for groceries.
There you have it, John: According to our poll, a majority of voters believe in strengthening SNAP. Now, it’s time for Congress to act.
SNAP is a lifeline for 41.2 million people nationwide, including nearly 15 million children!
Yet the average recipient receives just $6.20 in benefits per day.
Could YOU afford three nutritious meals on that budget? I know it wouldn’t be nearly enough to feed my family – especially my growing son.
Hunger is spiking, and kids need support to survive it. Please, urge Congress to protect and improve SNAP.
Thanks for being a voice for kids,
