Re: SNAP benefits in New York

Friend, the communities that produce our nation’s food should not be [going hungry]( themselves. [Sign the petition: Strengthen SNAP in the next farm bill to support rural communities.]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( This is a critically important time for Congress to strengthen and safeguard a crucial lifeline for families facing food insecurity. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is one of our most effective tools in reducing hunger and food insecurity. Now, through the farm bill, Congress has the opportunity to expand and strengthen those benefits and help rural communities thrive. Expanding SNAP benefits would help millions of low income Americans afford food. It would also help [stabilize]( the economy. It's unacceptable that anyone in the United States should go hungry. Everyone deserves to have enough to eat.

Below is an email we sent out earlier calling on Congress to expand SNAP in the farm bill: --------------------------------------------------------------- Friend, [sign the petition: Strengthen SNAP in the next farm bill to support rural communities.]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( The same communities that produce our country’s food are experiencing high rates of [food insecurity](. That gap in nutrition is leading to big medical bills. A lack of access to healthy food is tied to chronic illnesses and increased mental health issues, leading to more medications, higher health care costs and, ultimately, less money to buy food. Health challenges like diabetes, asthma and depression are directly [linked]( to food insecurity. [Sign the petition: Strengthen SNAP in the next farm bill to support rural communities.]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Congress can help. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)–which provides nutrition assistance for households with low incomes–is the most effective hunger-relief program in the country, helping people afford the food they need to stay well when times are tough. Improving SNAP means more families will have access to the food they need, which could help lower their health care costs. Congress has the opportunity to help rural communities thrive by strengthening SNAP provisions right now in the farm bill–the largest piece of federal legislation for food and farming, reviewed, revised and renewed once every few years. We must support communities that lack access to food. It’s time our lawmakers close the gap in nutrition by strengthening SNAP benefits in the farm bill.
