Advocacy Corner
Without nutrition programs like SNAP,
millions of families are at risk of falling
deeper into hunger and poverty.
Federal nutrition programs like
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly food stamps), school meal programs, and WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) help more than 40 million Americans put food on the table. Congress needs to protect and defend these programs against harmful structural changes and budget cuts.
Email your U.S. representative and your U.S. senators today. Tell your members of Congress to do their part to end hunger by protecting and strengthening SNAP.
Congress is under immense pressure to make budget cuts. Your voice is critical to ensuring that Congress makes funding choices that put us on track to ending hunger.
