Today’s the day to stand up for SNAP!

SNAP helps families put food on the table and strengthens our farms, grocers, and local economies. But Congress is considering cuts that would increase hunger and weaken our communities.

Email and call your members of Congress using the link in our bio. We’re proud to join partners across the Northeast to protect SNAP.
