Two million Pennsylvanians are at risk of losing access to the food assistance they depend on to feed their families. Pennsylvania has announced that, due to the federal government shutdown, it cannot distribute November’s SNAP payments, cutting off $366 million in monthly benefits that help hardworking people afford groceries.
SNAP is the nation’s largest anti-hunger program, providing nine meals for every one distributed through the charitable food network. Without it, families, seniors, veterans, and children across the Commonwealth will face impossible choices, like whether to pay for healthcare or buy groceries next month.
Now is the time for Congress to act. Your voice can help protect access to food for millions of Americans and prevent a crisis that would stretch the resources of the charitable food network beyond their limits. Use this form to contact your members of Congress today and urge them to ensure that November SNAP payments are made without interruption.
