President Trump moves to gut food assistance: Tell Congress to say no!

It's more bad news for struggling families: President Trump is looking for new ways to cut food assistance.

This week he proposed a budget that puts 38 million Americans at risk by threatening their access to food. Now it's up to Congress to decide whether to take up his proposals. Tell Congress to reject President Trump's budget because it will increase hunger.

Oppose President Trump's budget which harms federal nutrition programs

Dear [Decision Maker],

* Personalize your message

As a supporter of Feeding America, I'm asking you to oppose President Trump's budget because it will lead to more hungry families in our community and across the country.

The budget would replace efficient SNAP benefits with a food box program that would lead to less fresh and nutritious food, more red tape and higher costs, and ultimately fewer meals for hungry Americans. This plan would take away struggling families' ability to choose the foods that they need, and is an inefficient and costly logistical nightmare.

Even though SNAP benefits are not enough to feed a family, they help recipients stretch their grocery budgets and put nutritious meals on the table for some 38 million Americans, almost half of them under the age of 18.

In addition, the president proposes devastating cuts to programs for children and seniors. His budget adds red tape and unnecessary burdens to free and reduced-price school meals and completely eliminates the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP), which provides nutritious food to more than 730,000 lower-income seniors age 60 and over.

Please oppose President Trump's attempt to slash federal nutrition programs like SNAP and CSFP that will harm families in every community.

Sincerely,
