Summer should never mean going hungry. Summer Nutrition Programs provide free meals and snacks to children and teens while school is out, but too many families are missing out because they don't know these programs exist.

Getting Summer EBT benefits into families' hands is only the first step. Making sure they're used is just as important. Read FRAC's latest blog on strategies to increase benefit redemption. https://t.co/0SBtp0BK3T

Older adults make up a large share of SNAP participants, yet H.R. 1 adds new barriers that can limit access to food assistance for seniors across the country.

Millions of children lose access to school meals during the summer. Summer Nutrition Programs help fill that gap, but outreach is essential to ensure families know where to find meals.

SNAP is a major pathway into WIC. When families lose SNAP, they lose their automatic income eligibility for WIC and must navigate additional paperwork just to access basic nutrition and support services.

Most SNAP households include a person with a disability, making SNAP a critical source of food support for people already navigating higher rates of fixed income & economic instability. When SNAP is disrupted, these households are among the most affected.

Everyone has a role to play in connecting children to summer meals. Schools, libraries, community organizations, health care providers, and advocates can help spread the word about free summer meal sites. Learn more: https://t.co/HU791E5xte

When families with children lose SNAP, they can lose more than groceries. They may also lose their automatic connection to free school meals, creating new paperwork barriers that can leave eligible kids without the meals they need to learn and thrive. https://t.co/Qcb4lS0rl2

Most people who rely on SNAP are already working, often in low-wage jobs with unpredictable hours & few benefits. Expanding SNAP time limits won't create better jobs or raise wages. It will only take food away from people already working to make ends meet. https://t.co/d7W1uoSGGg

#Veterans, their family members and their advocates fought for over a decade to achieve extra support in SNAP that was unceremoniously repealed in #GOP #HR1 just months before #TrumpsIranWar was declared. This is shameful & should be undone in the #FarmBill.

Veterans who rely on SNAP are among those affected by H.R. 1’s expanded restrictions and eliminated exemptions. Barriers to food assistance are increasing for people who have served their country.

Millions will lose benefits as a result of changes to #SNAP. Consequently, cities will experience a range of impacts as a consequence of increased food insecurity. From @GOVERNING, @fractweets has published a playbook to help cities manage these impacts. https://t.co/rPpFhprZ7r

Rising food costs are making summer even harder for families. Summer Nutrition Programs help children access the healthy meals they need while school is out, but families need to know they're available.

SNAP is a direct pathway to Summer EBT. When families lose SNAP, children lose automatic access to food and nourishment  that help replace school meals during summer break.
