SNAP allows people to get the food they need with dignity to choose how to nourish themselves and their families. SNAP is and always has been our country’s most effective defense against hunger.

Historic SNAP Cuts: What Was in the Republican Budget Bill?
On July 4th, the Republican budget bill was signed into law, marking historic cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The bill slashes $187 billion from SNAP over the next decade, roughly 20% of the program, and will reduce or eliminate benefits for an estimated 4 million people.
These represent the most significant changes to SNAP in the program’s history, fundamentally altering how food assistance works in America.
