“This is more chaos and more cruelty. Some of the 42,000,000 Americans who are legally entitled to SNAP grocery help got it. Most didn't.”

"The only thing that really helps moderate income and low-income Americans meet their basic monthly expenses is the SNAP program. And that's why it's so vital, not only in terms of fighting hunger, but just keeping tens of millions of Americans afloat each month," HFA CEO Joel Berg to @npr.org
SNAP, the country's largest anti-hunger program, dates back to the Great Depression and has never been disrupted this way. Most recipients are seniors, families with kids, and those with disabilities. n.pr/48PNNIt
