The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is a lifeline for 42 million Americans.
SNAP fills empty lunchboxes with healthy snacks. It gives students the fuel they need to stay focused in school, and ensures kids come home to warm, hearty meals.
But earlier this week, Congress passed a budget plan aiming to reduce mandatory spending by $2 trillion over the next decade. This proposal will significantly impact SNAP funding.
Before 2021, SNAP benefits hadn’t been updated in DECADES. Then, the most recent increase lifted 2.4 million people out of poverty, including 1 million children!
With grocery prices up 25% since 2020, struggling families are desperate for another update. Right now, they’re surviving on just $6.20 per person – far too little to keep kids nourished and thriving.
Kids need your voice and your compassionate support. Your donation will help hold lawmakers – from the White House to state houses – accountable to children’s needs. Please donate today – even $5 can make a difference!
