Second Harvest Food Bank of the Lehigh Valley and Northeast Pennsylvania’s Post

Today, March 25, a hearing is being held on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to address the impact of current proposals that would cut or weaken the program. This hearing is a critical opportunity to speak out against these proposed cuts and highlight the vital role SNAP plays in reducing hunger, improving health outcomes, and strengthening local communities. SNAP fights hunger in Pennsylvania, helping 2M+ people & bringing $4.2B to the state. With ~11% of households facing food insecurity, we can’t afford cuts. In 2023 alone, it fed 591,000+ kids & pumped $5.1 BILLION into local businesses. Congress, #ProtectSNAP!
