Puerto Rico deserves access to good nutrition

As many as one-third of the people in Puerto Rico are food insecure. Dear Friend, The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is our nation’s most important anti-hunger program. Unfortunately, the people of Puerto Rico, who are U.S. citizens, do not have access to SNAP. They rely on a vastly inferior program – the Nutrition Assistance Program, or NAP. Please [call your members of Congress]( and urge them to support the transition from NAP to SNAP for Puerto Rico in the farm bill. As many as one-third of the people of Puerto Rico are food insecure. Yet, NAP assistance is significantly lower than SNAP. NAP’s budget is also capped, meaning that unlike SNAP, it does not expand to meet rising needs such as in the case of a natural disaster.
