As Congress continues to struggle to reach an agreement to fund federal programs, millions of Americans could face an unprecedented pause in SNAP benefits, including nearly 16 million children, starting in November.
Actor and No Kid Hungry champion Jeff Bridges joined our executive chair and co-founder, Billy Shore, on CNN with Jake Tapper to talk about what this means for families. They urged the USDA to use contingency funds that are available for emergencies like this and called on elected officials to keep SNAP funded for the people who depend on it.
You can help. Write to your members of Congress today and urge them to find a bipartisan agreement to reopen the government and make sure kids and families continue to get the nutrition and support they need to thrive.
