In honor of World Food Day, ask Members of Congress to support SNAP!

Evangelical Lutheran Church in America
 
We missed Oct. 16, World Food Day, but it's not too late to celebrate by
using the opportunity to strengthen national and international solidarity in
the struggle against hunger, malnutrition and poverty and draw attention
to achievements in food security and agricultural development. 
 
Yet, on this World Food Day many people in our nation remain food insecure,
and Congress has proposed steep cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP) - formerly known as food stamps - our primary federal anti-hunger program.
 
In honor of World Food Day, send a message to your members of Congress
telling them that you support efforts to end hunger in our communities and
asking them to oppose cuts to SNAP as they consider the farm bill and bills
to fund the federal government this fall.
