Walking into the FRAC National Anti-Hunger Policy Conference last week to join more than 900 advocates from across the country in conversation and community reminded me of the strength of the anti-hunger network — especially in the challenging moment we are facing.
During a FRAC Capitol Hill briefing on April 29, anti-hunger advocates from across the country raised urgent concerns about the real-world consequences of the $187 billion in cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in the budget reconciliation law, H.R. 1, that was enacted in July 2025. They shared how the cuts are already increasing hunger, pushing families deeper into poverty, and placing unsustainable administrative and financial burdens on states and the charitable sector.
FRAC often encourages people and organizations to submit public comment to the federal government, either in support of policies that improve nutrition, food security, and well-being, or against initiatives or rule changes that will cause harm. For example, FRAC has urged advocates to submit comments to protect school meal access, oppose changes to SNAP stocking rules, and restore food security data collection.
