Save the Children Action Network is the political voice for kids. 

Millions of kids across the U.S. are going hungry. Please, urge Congress to help families put food on the table!

John, 

42 million Americans rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).  

But during the government shutdown, I heard a lot of misinformation spreading. 

Let's set the record straight:  

• SNAP participants are NOT unhealthy. In fact, they buy more nutritious foods than low-income households that don’t receive benefits.
• SNAP strengthens our economy. Every $1 in benefits generates up to $1.80 in economic activity – and 80% of SNAP retailers are small businesses.
• SNAP prevents hunger. It singlehandedly reduces food insecurity by up to 30%.  

The government shutdown made one thing clear: SNAP cuts would devastate the most vulnerable families. Speak out now!

John, SNAP isn’t the only program Americans count on.  

We’re also advocating for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC). 

7 million pregnant and breastfeeding mothers – plus their newborns and toddlers – access health screenings, postpartum care and fresh fruits and vegetables through WIC.   

So please, tell Congress: Step up to protect SNAP, WIC and kids’ futures!

Thanks for raising your voice, 

Savannah Fox
