SUMMARY:Rally for Snap
DESCRIPTION:Make sure our neighbors don’t go hungry! \n\n\n\nPlease join Make Hunger History\, the Merrimack Valley Food Bank\, and anti-hunger advocates from across the state on Tuesday\, October 28\, from 12:00–12:45 p.m.\, on the steps of the State House (Beacon Street\, Boston). \n\n\n\nWe’ll rally and hold a press event in response to the ongoing federal shutdown and its devastating impacts on SNAP and other federal nutrition programs. Please arrive at noon; the speaking program begins at 12:15. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP for updates\n\n\n\n\nIf the situation remains unchanged\, SNAP recipients will not receive their November benefits on time. This would be the first time in history that the federal government failed to issue SNAP benefits during a shutdown. The federal government must act immediately to ensure that these benefits aren’t interrupted\, and if it fails to do so\, the State must step in to fill the gap so Massachusetts residents can afford to feed their families. \n\n\n\nSNAP helps 1 in 6 Massachusetts residents put food on the table\, while providing 9 meals for every meal provided by a food bank. Every month\, SNAP households spend about $210 million in benefits—$1 of every $5 spent at local grocery stores and farmers’ markets.
