SNAP is the nation’s first line of defense against hunger, helping 42.6M people in the U.S. put food on the table. As food insecurity & food prices continue increasing, protecting and strengthening SNAP is more important than ever.

"If grocery stores bring in fewer dollars, employees at those stores could lose their jobs. Property tax revenue could also fall because of store closures." sanjuandailystar.com/post/food-stam…

Farmers lose. Grocers lose. Families lose. States lose. SNAP cuts in the recently passed reconciliation act would shrink tax bases and weaken local economies. No one wins except the ultra-wealthy. #SNAPmatters

From veterans to grandparents raising teens, millions will be harmed by new SNAP time limits. Gina Plata-Nino’s latest blog shows why these policies fail and what they mean for state agencies, nonprofits, and families. frac.org/blog/qa-unders…

When SNAP is strong, families have groceries, retailers have steady business, and farmers have a market for the food they grow. Cuts to SNAP don’t just hurt people who receive benefits. Cuts weaken local economies and break systems that work. #SNAPmatters

You might not know who in your life relies on SNAP—but someone does. A friend. A coworker. A family member. SNAP matters because hunger is invisible, and dignity should be nonnegotiable. #SNAPmatters

The report released yesterday by the independent Congressional Budget Office underscores the devastating consequences of the cuts to SNAP included in the recently passed budget reconciliation package. Read FRAC's full statement here: frac.org/news/cboscorea…
