Friend,

If you want to provide $660 worth of food to families in need, click here to donate $20 or whatever you can afford TODAY. It’s as simple as that. ([link removed])

I believe in using the most efficient and effective tools we have to fight hunger. Federal benefits have three specific advantages:
1. They are paid for 100% by the federal government, when at least some of the direct food giveaways at food pantries will likely come from city tax dollars.
2. They boost jobs at grocery stores, farmers markets, bodegas, etc.
3. They allow food choice that is impossible at most food pantries, allowing families to choose for themselves the foods and portion sizes that most meet the needs of their health conditions, religious practices, cultural norms, and personal tastes.

So, despite being underutilized, our federal nutrition safety programs dwarf the impact of charitable food programs and are vital to our communities. As many people are becoming newly eligible for these benefits, it is critical for nonprofit groups to get the resources they need in order to conduct accessible benefits outreach and assistance programs.

Can you give $20 to Hunger Free America, so we can continue to connect hungry families to the benefits they need? Each dollar we spend specifically on SNAP outreach generates $33 in federally-funded SNAP benefits. With just $20, you can connect a family in need to $660 of SNAP benefits>> ([link removed])
