Hunger Solutions New York Raises Concerns Over Cuts to SNAP in House Budget Proposal

This week, advocates began calling their members of Congress to raise grave concerns over a U.S. House budget proposal which would cut $33 billion from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), known as the Food Stamp Program (FSP) in NYS.

If these cuts were to be implemented it would be devastating to struggling New Yorkers who would have less money to buy food for themselves and their families and result in thousands of New Yorkers being dropped from the program altogether.
