SNAP supports local economies. Every $1 in SNAP benefits generates up to $1.80 in economic impact during downturns. In NY, SNAP brings $650 million into local economies each month. Proposed cuts to SNAP would increase hunger and hurt our economy. Congress must #ProtectSNAP.

Federal funding cuts to programs like TEFAP & WIC would devastate NY food banks already stretched thin. We urge @RepRileyNY @RepLangworthy @RepTenney: protect these lifelines. Our communities can’t afford to lose this support. #EndHunger #ProtectTEFAP 📰

"These cuts will deprive Americans of food assistance, emergency food providers of necessary support to carry out their work, and American farmers of vital domestic markets."

No one should have to choose between rent & food. With grocery prices rising, SNAP is a lifeline for 3M+ New Yorkers. We’re calling on @GovKathyHochul & NY lawmakers to strengthen SNAP—starting with a $100 min. benefit. More via @FeedingNYS & @Instacart:

The soaring cost of groceries has become a burden for families across New York.

I love SNAP because it fights hunger, fuels the economy, and keeps families fed. Get a head start on Valentine’s Day, send a message to Congress: Protect SNAP! Call 202-224-3121 and tell them you love SNAP, too. #SNAPMatters
