SNAP is a vital resource for households in need as well as an economy booster for communities, businesses and states. Individuals and families really need these benefits to help them put food on their table. Food restrictions hurt everyone and congress needs to be aware of that.

If you are in need of additional food resources and appear to qualify for this nutrition program (financial eligibility information is in the comments), please contact our office. We'd be happy to assist you.

SNAP limits are increasing in more states — check your state’s latest changes and take action to defend essential food support: https://frac.org/snap-restrictions
