Pass a Strong Child Nutrition Bill, No Cuts to SNAP/Food Stamps

The Nutrition Consortium of NYS continues our commitment to both ensuring that Child Nutrition Reauthorization passes in the Lame Duck session and preventing any future cuts to SNAP/food stamps.


With Congress back in session for a limited time, it is essential to tell members that cutting food benefits for one program to fund another is unacceptable. A good child nutrition bill can make needed improvements without cutting future SNAP/food stamp benefits.
