Every day, families across our communities work hard to put food on the table, care for loved ones and build stable futures. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) plays a critical role for many families who are working to bridge the gap during challenging times. However, the program faces an uncertain future in many states due to H.R. 1, a new law passed by Congress and enacted last summer. States are facing significantly higher costs to operate SNAP and continue providing food assistance to families. Without additional time to prepare, state lawmakers could be forced into difficult tradeoffs—including reducing SNAP access, cutting other essential community services or raising taxes on residents. Take Action Increase Funding for the NAP Tax Credit In Pennsylvania, the Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP) connects businesses with community organizations, like food banks, to invest in projects that improve our communities. The Charitable Food Program (CFP) component of NAP is focused on improving food security in Pennsylvania and has assisted Feeding Pennsylvania Food Banks in providing more nutritious foods and growing overall operations.

Take Action Protect Pennsylvanians from SNAP Benefits Theft So far this year, the Pennsylvania Office of State Inspector General has received more than 5,100 reports of SNAP benefits theft totaling nearly $2.5 million in stolen benefits due to skimming. HB 2540 would require the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services to transition to secure, chip-enabled EBT cards, similar to the technology already used on most debit and credit cards. This simple modernization would help prevent fraud, protect taxpayer dollars, and ensure benefits remain available for the Pennsylvanians who rely on them. Send a message to your State Senator urging them to support HB 2540 and help protect Pennsylvania families from benefits theft.
