HUNGRY CHILDREN NEED YOUR HELP!

TELL CONGRESS WE CAN’T CUT SNAP!

In a matter of days
members of the United States House of
Representatives will be headed home for
the primary elections, and there is
pressure to pass Child Nutrition
Reauthorization. There is a significant
effort, with backing from the White
House and the First Lady’s “Let’s
Move” initiative, to bring a child
nutrition reauthorization bill to the floor
this week. As there is no significant
money this week or next coming out of
the House Ways & Means Committee,
House members are being urged to
pass the Senate bill in its entirety,
including the $2.2 billion in SNAP
offsets. Any bill that takes food off the plates of families, individuals, seniors, and
veterans at home in order to place food on the plates of children at school is
unacceptable.

Every member of the Ohio delegation needs to hear that the

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is our Nation’s first line of
defense against hunger and
food insecurity. Any cuts to
this program will lead to
increases in hunger, food
insecurity, and loss of
economic revenue for the
communities in which the
SNAP dollars are spent.
Children need access to
healthy foods both at home
and at school.
