September is Hunger Action Month and the 2018 Farm Bill is at a very important crossroads. Right now Congress is trying to find a compromise between two vastly different Farm Bill versions. The House passed a Farm Bill that would cut nearly $20 billion in food assistance. The Senate's Farm Bill protects anti-hunger programs, and we are urging Congress to adopt the Senate's provisions.

Take action this Hunger Action Month and join thousands of others on Thursday, September 13 in a Farm Bill National Call in Day to protect nutrition assistance.

Calling Congress is Easy!

Dial 888-398-8702, and follow the instructions to be automatically connected to your Representative. Choose an office first, and tell the staff member who answers that you'd like to leave a message about the Farm Bill.

Sample Script:

“Please protect SNAP - a critical program that helps millions of children, seniors, and veterans across the country - by supporting the Senate SNAP provisions of the Farm Bill."

When you are finished with your message, call your other two members of Congress and leave messages for them as well.
