In light of COVID-19, catastrophic increases in hunger are predicted globally and domestically. As the Senate is back in session to consider additional measures to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, this stimulus bill is our last big chance to do something about it immediately. SNAP is the nation’s first line of defense against hunger. Seventy-four percent of adult SNAP participants are working or have worked within a year of SNAP participation. Though benefits average approximately $1.40 per person per meal, recent studies suggest every $1 of SNAP benefits during an economic downturn generates between $1.50 and $1.80 in economic activity.  This money goes to farmers, grocery stores and  everyone who has been suffering during this time; it helps our local communities.

Please keep the pressure on our senators and your member of Congress. We invite you to share this video on social media and tag your legislators.
