For decades, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) has helped ensure that vulnerable, low-income people in our nation can put food on the table. In a joint letter to the House Committee on Agriculture, NCOA, along with other organizations, is urging Congress to continue the longstanding bipartisan commitment to protect and strengthen SNAP, specifically by opposing proposals to restrict eligibility, reduce benefits, cap or reduce funding, or make harmful structural changes in the upcoming 2018 Farm Bill.

Below is the downloadable joint letter signed by NCOA and other organizations expressing support for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and for the House Committee on Agriculture to reconsider these proposals that would weaken SNAP's structure and limit access for people of all ages.
