The House of Representatives have advanced a reconciliation package that includes significant cuts to SNAP and Medicaid. We need your help to protect school meal access!
The proposal would cut funding for SNAP and Medicaid programs, reducing the number of students automatically eligible for free and reduced-priced healthy school meals, risking their access to the nutrition that fuels their success.
If Congress passes this bill, it would have immediate impacts on your community, with fewer children directly certified for school meals, increased paperwork burdens, and eligible students falling through the cracks due to missed meals.
Direct certification streamlines access to free or reduced-priced school meals by automatically enrolling children from families participating in SNAP or Medicaid without additional applications. This effective system ensures vulnerable students get the nutrition they need while easing administrative burdens for schools.
Join us in urging Congress to protect school meal access by completing and sharing SNA’s action alert campaign in your networks, listservs, and partners to help build momentum for restoring essential programs.
SNA thanks you greatly for using your voice to speak up and protect these vital programs.
