2.9M New Yorkers rely on SNAP to put food on the table.
- 30% of participants are children
- 31% are seniors or people with disabilities
Cuts to SNAP would increase hunger and harm the youngest and most vulnerable New Yorkers.

Hunger affects families right here in the Southern Tier, and now SNAP funding cuts threaten millions of meals for those who rely on this vital program. We are asking you to lend your voice to thank our senators and show support for SNAP.

๐ NY orgs: Sign on to protect SNAP.
2.9M New Yorkers rely on it for food access. Proposed changes in the House bill could deeply impact our communities.
๐ข Urge Congress to reconsider.

SNAP supports local economies. Every $1 in SNAP benefits generates up to $1.80 in economic impact during downturns. In NY, SNAP brings $650 million into local economies each month. Proposed cuts to SNAP would increase hunger and hurt our economy. Congress must #ProtectSNAP.
Everyone deserves access to healthy food & care.
๐ฅ Now is the time to act โ Congress is making critical decisions.
๐๏ธ SIGN the petition & tell them: Protect & strengthen SNAP, TEFAP & Medicaid!
