This is a bad ass design. Feels retro as f.

Also, @feedmorewny.org is an amazing organization. Their services reach across WNY from the city to our rural communities.

SNAP is our nation’s most effective anti-hunger program. It increases food security, lifts children out of poverty, and reduces healthcare costs.

SNAP also is an important revenue source for 17,000+ NY retailers.
