From Food Lifeline: STATE FOOD ASSISTANCE IN DANGER ONCE AGAIN

STATE FOOD ASSISTANCE IN DANGER ONCE AGAIN. SHARE YOUR VOICE AND SAVE MEALS FOR THOUSANDS. Hello, We are writing once again asking for your help advocating for the State Food Assistance Program (SFA). Thank you so much for the great work you did and the quick response you had in contacting your lawmakers last week. Unfortunately however, last Friday the state Senate passed a budget that eliminates SFA. While we very much appreciate the efforts made by the House and several members of the Senate to preserve this program, it is now clearly in danger of elimination. As budget negotiations continue, we are reaching out to ask you once more to voice your opposition to eliminating SFA.  Elimination means that 14,000 individuals will no longer have the program as a reliable first line of defense against hunger as they struggle to provide food and nutrition for their families.  It also means more pressure will be placed on area food banks, meal programs, and shelters who are already straining to keep up with increased need. Time is running out. CLICK HERE to contact your lawmakers TODAY to oppose elimination of SFA.
