Here's what @USDA's #SNAP modernization means for #Hoosiers: The average increase in individual benefit comes down to about 40 cents per meal, per day, updating a formula set in 1975. @hollyvhays@IndyStar https://t.co/iPOYdIEBc5

"Hunger is not inevitable. Again, it’s a policy choice,” Rep. Hayes says on calls to make the emergency summer food program permanent. “In the United States of America in 2021, kids should not be hungry.” https://t.co/HmgFAfur0s

#COVID19 has created once-in-a-generation conditions that make putting food on the table harder than ever.
Act w/ @hunger: Call your lawmakers (1-800-861-1943) or tweet them & tell them to pass additional #COVIDRelief that fully address levels of hardship we’ve never seen.
