With an estimated 41 percent increase in the amount of people facing food insecurity due to the impact of COVID-19, it is critical that the next Response Stimulus Bill includes a 15 percent increase to SNAP. The most important action hunger advocates can take TODAY is to urge your lawmakers to support boosting the maximum household SNAP benefit and reauthorizing Pandemic EBT.
