Take our Hunger Action Month challenge to #SNAPtheStigma ([link removed]) !

Join us this month in one of three ways to help spread awareness of the importance of SNAP (formerly known as food stamps) and help break the stigma of accessing federal nutrition benefits:

1. Sign and share our petition to make SNAP more accessible ([link removed]) .
2. Participate in the social media ([link removed]) #SNAPChallenge ([link removed]) . ([link removed])
3. Donate to help us continue our SNAP outreach work ([link removed]) .
Join us on Saturday to honor the 20th anniversary of 9/11 by volunteering and promoting food security across the country. This year we have both in-person and virtual options available through either canvassing in our hometown of New York City or through our virtual phone banking events that can be done anywhere in the U.S.

We hope you'll join us on this important day as we remember those we lost on 9/11 and work to strengthen our communities in their honor.
