.@SDHungerCo: Proposed #SNAP cuts in the @HouseAgNews #FarmBill would worsen #hunger in #California. https://t.co/fTi1YiDDdy @DarrellIssa @RepDuncanHunter @RepSusanDavis @RepScottPeters @RepJuanVargas

The House Farm Bill was passed out of committee yesterday along party lines. Now's the time to urge your congressional member to #ProtectSNAP and oppose the harmful attacks on nutrition programs in this legislation. https://t.co/WzEHBR3daL

Post Nutrition Fair highlights -seeing the after school kids eating lettuce and telling me they love it AND parents emailing that their kids were excited to eat steamed cauliflower! Thanks @FoodLinkTC #Nutrition #KidsDeserveIt

Wednesday, the House Ag Committee will mark up Chairman’s #FarmBill. Anti-hunger advocates across the country calling for an opposition to the cuts made to #SNAP. Statements about Conaway’s proposals https://t.co/xot9BjgMYT @collinpeterson @NancyPelosi

[California Association of Food Banks @CAFoodBanks]

Thank you @SenFeinstein for your call to strengthen, not weaken, #SNAP as our best tool to #endhunger. The California anti-hunger community stands united in opposition to the #SNAP cuts in the Chairman’s bill and asks all #CA @HouseAgNews to vote no. https://t.co/KFcLbxJHzQ https://t.co/0PVeLwmsDh

[California Association of Food Banks @CAFoodBanks]

Work requirements are not the same as workforce development. We need to focus more on investments in skills, and less on harsh eligibility restrictions. Please vote no on H.R. 2, and tell the Committee to get it right. @HouseAgNews @skillscoalition #wkdev

[Rep. Jim Costa @RepJimCosta]

The partisan #FarmBill we will consider in #HouseAg tomorrow makes changes to #SNAP that will likely devastate parts of the program that are working well.

SNAP is vital to the health of our #SanJoaquin Valley and communities - both rural & urban - across the US.

Cutting #SNAP (food stamps) means cutting our country’s first line of defense against hunger – and charity can’t fill the gap. Learn more about food stamps and what the program means for hungry families: https://t.co/9XeNYgSFtp #FarmBill

Today’s the final day: please get your comments in it just takes 1 minute to protect #SNAPmatters! https://t.co/cIi5zblZiZ

[California Association of Food Banks @CAFoodBanks]

We developed SNAP congressional district fact sheets to highlight the program’s value & urge every member of the CA Congressional Delegation to protect and strengthen SNAP and reject any block grants, structural changes or cuts that would increase hunger. https://t.co/M4buLbzm8k

[FoodLink @FoodLinkTC]

Hey everyone! Kick off spring break with us TODAY. Stomp out hunger with live music, good food & good friends.

[FoodLink @FoodLinkTC]

Thanks to staff from @AD26Mathis @SenAndyVidak @SenKamalaHarris @DevinNunes for joining us at our #FarmBill discussion yesterday. #SNAP & #CalFood are great health & anti-poverty investments for #Tulare county and we need your continued support! https://t.co/YGEKWeE7z2

[California Association of Food Banks @CAFoodBanks]

Why is the #FarmBill important to #California? Because #SNAPmatters as one of the best ways to fight #poverty & #EndHunger. https://t.co/eyddQ4pzvy

[California Association of Food Banks @CAFoodBanks]
