John,

This Thanksgiving, we’re grateful for our supporters who power our fight for justice and for human needs.

Right now, we’re fighting for the 1 in 8 people who rely on SNAP benefits to meet their nutritional needs. In recent weeks, we saw the Trump administration use SNAP as a political tool to punish tens of millions of vulnerable people. This month was the first time in the program’s history that SNAP benefits were held up and not sent out on time―and many families are still dealing with the aftershock of this massive disruption of food assistance.¹

We’re working with allies and coalition partners to deliver messages right now, demanding Congress reverse the $187 billion cut to SNAP and ensure no one in the richest nation on earth goes hungry. Our work is only as strong as your activism and support. We can’t do any of this without you.

If you can, donate $5 today to power our urgent advocacy demanding Congress reverse cuts made to SNAP in the Big Brutal Budget.

DONATE TODAY

While full SNAP benefits were restored for November, the program remains under attack. Under the Big Brutal Budget, Congress cut $187 billion from SNAP over the next decade.² This will kick millions of people out of the program and reduce the benefits of millions more. Congress must act immediately to repeal these cuts and fully fund the program so it can cover everyone who needs nutrition assistance.³

SNAP plays a critical role in reducing poverty and improving economic and health outcomes. It’s a crucial program that must be saved, and Congress must act now.

Donate $5 to power our work defending SNAP and restoring funding to this crucial program.

John,

Thanksgiving is this week, and as people gather around the table to eat and celebrate the holidays with their friends and loved ones, we cannot forget the people who will spend this holiday season on edge due to delayed―or a lack of―SNAP benefits.

More than 40 million people―the equivalent of 1 in 8 people―rely on SNAP to afford food and, in many cases, supplement their income due to working in low-wage jobs.

Here at the Coalition on Human Needs, we’re fighting every day for the restoration of SNAP funding that was cut in the Big Brutal Budget and pushing for policies that ensure everyone can put food on the table. We’re rallying allies and coalition partners to demand Congress pass the Restoring Food Security for American Families and Farmers Act to reverse the cuts and restore SNAP funding, flooding Capitol Hill with tens of thousands of messages.¹ This is critical work that can’t be done without your support.

This holiday season, let’s ensure no one is left behind. Donate $5 to power our work defending SNAP and demanding Congress restore the $187 billion cut from SNAP in Republicans’ Big Brutal Budget.

DONATE TODAY

We cannot stress the importance of SNAP benefits enough. It encourages healthier diets, reduces adverse health outcomes, and is associated with better access to preventive health services. This is why SNAP funding has traditionally been a bipartisan issue, until now.

This has been a challenging year, but when we come together as a community, we have the power to create positive change. Donate $5 today to power the fight defending SNAP benefits for people in every state and every community across the country―and call for a country where nobody struggles to put food on the table.
