Advocacy -We need your Help
“Help protect federal nutrition programs that assist millions of hungry individuals and families”
Drastic cuts to SNAP (formerly Food Stamps) are on the table for the 2012 Farm Bill. Millions of individuals and families will be even more vulnerable to hunger if Congress cuts funding for this poverty relieving program. Will you join me in urging our elected officials to protect SNAP in the Farm Bill?
