Don't slash hunger-fighting programs

Dear [Decision Maker],

* Personalize your message

As your constituent and a supporter of Feeding America, I'm writing to ask you to oppose the drastic cuts to hunger-fighting programs included in the new Farm Bill. These senseless cuts take aim at some of the most effective programs we have as a nation when it comes to fighting hunger -- programs that show who we are as Americans.

The bill includes massive cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). SNAP is the single largest program aimed at curbing hunger and helps puts food into the hands of some 42 million Americans. Nearly HALF of SNAP recipients are under the age of 18.

Even though SNAP benefits are not enough to feed a family for the entire month, they help recipients stretch their grocery budgets and put nutritious meals on the table. The proposed cuts and changes to SNAP funding would put millions of people at risk, including thousands here at home in our district.

Food assistance programs like SNAP let all people participate in their local economies and makes our communities stronger. I urge you to vote no on this dangerous bill.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
