Jack,
“The patrons that visit our pantry, we have conversations… A lot of them are
sacrificing doctor’s appointments… not buying the medications that they need
for their diseases becausethey have to make a trade-off of either buying food
or paying for their medication.”
—Sophia Blake, Fredericksburg, VA
Sidelining health is just one of many ways people facing hunger cope with
rising food prices.Today we’re asking you to add your voice: Urge Congress to
pass the strongest farm bill possible >>
“If a person has to choose between medicine and food, we're not in a good
place. And we need to fix it,” said Sophia.
Essential federal programs like The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP)
and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) help hardworking
families keep food on the table during tough times.Congress can help make sure
these programs can meet the growing need by passing a strong farm bill!
