Lawmakers in the House voted to take food from children, seniors, veterans and people with disabilities by cutting funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). SNAP is the nation’s most effective hunger-relief program and reducing benefits would make it even harder for families and individuals to get the nutrition we all need to thrive.

Tell your senators to protect SNAP today, because cuts to this crucial program would mean hunger will rise. 

We must act fast. Lawmakers are moving to cut funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), our nation’s most effective response to food insecurity. 

Cutting SNAP would worsen hunger in America. SNAP works quickly to help families, veterans, seniors and people working for low wages or inconsistent hours keep nutritious food on the table. Feeding America estimates that the funding cuts in the recently passed House bill would result in about 9.5 billion fewer meals for SNAP participants every year. 

This is urgent: Tell your lawmakers to oppose any cuts to SNAP.

We’re all feeling the sting of high grocery prices and the rising cost of living. We need to keep SNAP strong so our neighbors—including children, seniors and people with disabilities—can afford food and stay healthy. 

We all need nutritious food to thrive. Together, we can urge lawmakers to oppose SNAP cuts that would hurt our neighbors.

Tell your lawmakers today to protect SNAP and make it easier for families to put dinner on the table, not harder!

Sincerely,

Kristina Kus
