One of our top priorities this fall is to press Congress to vote for a strong Farm Bill. That’s our chance to ensure five years of funding for life-saving food assistance programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and extensions of SNAP like the Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program (GuSNIP). More than 40 million Americans, including more than a quarter of rural Appalachian families with children, rely on this life-saving and family-sustaining food benefits program. Congress has to vote against any harmful measures that would further restrict food access.
