John,

Thanksgiving is this week, and as people gather around the table to eat and celebrate the holidays with their friends and loved ones, we cannot forget the people who will spend this holiday season on edge due to delayed―or a lack of―SNAP benefits.

More than 40 million people―the equivalent of 1 in 8 people―rely on SNAP to afford food and, in many cases, supplement their income due to working in low-wage jobs.

Here at the Coalition on Human Needs, we’re fighting every day for the restoration of SNAP funding that was cut in the Big Brutal Budget and pushing for policies that ensure everyone can put food on the table. We’re rallying allies and coalition partners to demand Congress pass the Restoring Food Security for American Families and Farmers Act to reverse the cuts and restore SNAP funding, flooding Capitol Hill with tens of thousands of messages.¹ This is critical work that can’t be done without your support.

This holiday season, let’s ensure no one is left behind. Donate $5 to power our work defending SNAP and demanding Congress restore the $187 billion cut from SNAP in Republicans’ Big Brutal Budget.

We cannot stress the importance of SNAP benefits enough. It encourages healthier diets, reduces adverse health outcomes, and is associated with better access to preventive health services. This is why SNAP funding has traditionally been a bipartisan issue, until now.

This has been a challenging year, but when we come together as a community, we have the power to create positive change. Donate $5 today to power the fight defending SNAP benefits for people in every state and every community across the country―and call for a country where nobody struggles to put food on the table.

Thank you for all you do,
