Protect Funding for Essential Food Security Programs!

Senate Agriculture Ranking Member John Boozman’s proposed Farm Bill threatens more than 41.4 million people who rely on SNAP for food security with a nearly $30 billion cut in funding over the next decade.

The proposal will restrict updates to the USDA’s Thrifty Food Plan and prevent benefits from increasing relative to inflation, thereby providing less assistance to those facing food insecurity, and worsening disparities in access to healthy diets. 1 in 7 Massachusetts residents (15%) relies on SNAP benefits to maintain nutritional security, and more than half of all participants are in families with children or disabled adults. Additionally, more than 30% of SNAP participants are in working families.

The proposed cuts would privatize the process for determining SNAP eligibility prioritizing profits over the needs of many families. Funding cuts would make it more difficult for families-- like those EMPath serves-- to maintain a healthy and nutritious diet. Further, SNAP stimulates economic activity, generating $1.50 to $1.80 for each dollar in benefits.

US Senator

Subject: Help protect funding for food security programs.

Message:

As your constituent and supporter of EMPath, I'm writing to urge you to vote against any spending cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the nation’s most impactful anti-hunger program, and to instead work to ensure affordable food and cash assistance programs receive the highest allocation of discretionary funds possible in FY25. 1 in 7 Massachusetts residents (15%) relies on SNAP benefits to maintain nutritional security, and more than half of all participants are in families with children or disabled adults. Additionally, more than 30% of SNAP participants are in working families.

Specifically, I ask that you:

Protect the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in any Farm Bill Negotiations

Strengthen adequacy and equity of SNAP in any Farm Bill

Food security needs are rising faster than wages and worsened by inflation. Federal investments are vital to creating more equitable communities and helping families thrive. Funding cuts would make it more difficult for families-- like those EMPath serves-- to maintain a healthy and nutritious diet.

I ask you to ensure funds in any Farm Bill for the nation’s most effective and longstanding nutrition assistance program financing food and cash assistance. Thank you.
