#BoostSNAPNow
It's beyond time to #BoostSNAPNow! Listen and act on behalf of the more than 1.7M of your constituents and neighbors who are struggling with hunger now! @SenRickScott@marcorubio @SenRubioPress
Welcome back @FLSenate – let’s #SNAP to it! Prioritizing SNAP and increasing benefits by 15% in the next stimulus package will help bring food to millions of families across the US. #BoostSNAPNow
#SNAP is a proven anti-hunger powerhouse. Each SNAP $1 spent generates up to $1.80 in economic activity - impacting farmers, food producers, grocery retailers, stock clerks, and local economies.
✅ SNAP can #ShortentheLines
Grace is all about unmerited mercy and compassion. Grace deserves grace and dignity during this crisis! #shortenthelines#snap We hope you @CharlieCrist@marcorubio hear us about the importance of #snap!
Grace never thought she’d need food assistance, but retirement didn’t pan out as she had hoped.
“Asking for help was very hard for me. [But] I was encouraged to apply for SNAP benefits. Now I eat my own leftovers instead of someone else’s.”
📢#SNAP can #ShortentheLines
Ways #SNAP can help food banks #ShortentheLines:
1⃣ boost the maximum benefit by 15%
2⃣ increase the monthly minimum benefit from $16 to $30
3⃣ suspend time limits & rules that cut eligibility & benefits
Will you help us @SenRubioPress & @SenRickScott?
