This government shutdown can’t continue.

📞 Call your lawmakers at 1-888-598-7257 and tell them: Work together to reopen the government and fund SNAP!

“My last check wasn’t even a full one. That’s when it really hit—how quickly things can change.”

Families—including veterans like Robert—are feeling the impact of the shutdown. You can help make sure no one faces hunger alone. ❤️

The “big, beautiful bill” signed into law by President Donald Trump last week includes $186 billion in cuts to SNAP over the next decade. Reduced benefits from the federal government could mean more demand on community food banks, which are already feeling strained.

Jong-Fast: This would be the largest cut to food assistance in US history—and it will result in hungry kids.

It’s also important to mention that this bill grows the deficit. I don’t know how it manages to do the two things you absolutely don’t want—starve children and grow the deficit—but it does.
