I just met with a coalition of organizations who fight to protect SNAP and the ACA. Guess what I learned on the call?
The government has a 5 to 6 billion contingency fund they could tap into right now to pay for SNAP.

I lived with my dad when I was very young and he didn’t apply for food stamps or free school lunches, though we qualified.
So, I went hungry. It was awful. I begged neighbors for saltine crackers. I can say it was the worst time of my life.
Children shouldn’t go hungry. Restore SNAP benefits.
