Dear Lucas,
On November 1, life will get even harder for hungry kids in America. Every person on SNAP in the country — including 23 million kids — will see a cut in their benefits. The average family of four will lose $36 a month which equates to a loss of more than 20 fewer meals per month per family.
Families who already struggle to put food on the table will see that struggle intensify. Yet Congress is considering even more drastic cuts to SNAP as the Farm Bill moves forward. The current proposal slashes SNAP by up to $40 billion, kicking nearly 4 million people off the program entirely and denying 200,000 kids free school meals.
When will the cuts end?
We’re working hard to give hungry kids a voice in Congress. We need you to help us carry this message even further. Support No Kid Hungry today and stand up for the families forced to make tough decisions at the grocery store, and for hungry kids trying to pay attention in school.
Your support helps us to continue the hard fight against cuts to programs that hurt children. We’re too close to making No Kid Hungry a reality in America and our work can’t be derailed by Congress.
Thanks for all you do for our nation’s hungry kids.
Sincerely,
Team No Kid Hungry
P.S. Tell your member of Congress that you oppose cuts to SNAP.
