The congressional majority is considering a budget proposal that would significantly reduce funding for SNAP – the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program – putting millions at risk of hunger. SNAP is one of the most effective tools for reducing hunger and food insecurity, and these cuts would hurt families in every state – especially children, older adults, and those with disabilities.
Why SNAP Matters:
- Health: SNAP keeps families healthy, reduces healthcare costs, and supports the well-being of children, older adults, and individuals with disabilities.
- Economic impact: Every $1 in SNAP benefits generates up to $1.80 in economic activity. Cuts would hurt small businesses, especially grocery stores.
- Long-term benefits: Access to SNAP early in life is proven to improve school performance and future earnings, helping to break the cycle of poverty.
