Tell Congress to Strengthen SNAP in New HEROES Act

Tell Congress that curbing hunger will boost our economy.

Key measures to increase SNAP benefits are now included in the recently proposed Health and Economic Recovery Omnibus Emergency Solutions (HEROES) Act, which the House is expected to vote on as soon as THIS FRIDAY, MAY 15. But other critical provisions — to expand eligibility to SNAP and provide additional help for those in deep poverty — have been left out.

It’s important that ALL households struggling to put food on the table get the assistance they need during this disaster. SNAP is our nation’s first line of defense against hunger.  SNAP strengthens our economy in good times, and it can help save it in times like these.

Can you join Just Harvest and our allies in writing a letter to urge Senator Casey, Senator Toomey, and your U.S. Representative to pass the HEROES Act and to make sure everyone can afford food? Our future depends on it.
