We need RI's Eat Well, Be Well program! Food insecurity is a major concern in RI.
Have you heard about the SNAP Eat Well, Be Well Pilot Incentive Program? See how SNAP recipients can boost their benefits by purchasing fresh fruits and vegetables! @StopandShop @Walmart @RIPHI_ @gabeamo @MrAcostruth @Val_Lawson

RIers deserve this benefit! Thanks to @SenatorRuggerio and the @RISenate for making this legislation a priority.
“It does have some momentum this year,” the new Senate majority whip, @Val_Lawson, said Tuesday. “This is a benefit that people greatly need in pivotal points in their life. This is something we should do.” https://t.co/fn093CFFMk via @BostonGlobe
