FRAC Backs New Bill to Protect SNAP from Cuts

Lawmakers Introduce The Hunger-Free Future Act

FRAC Interim President Crystal FitzSimons joined lawmakers on Capitol Hill to support the Hunger-Free Future Act, which would protect SNAP from backdoor benefit cuts.

The Hunger-Free Future Act keeps future benefit adjustments for the Thrifty Food Plan, the basis for determining a household’s monthly SNAP allotment, ensuring that children, older adults, people with disabilities, veterans and those living in rural areas, can continue to afford the food they need for an adequate diet.

Proposed Cuts to School Meals Threaten Millions of Students

See the Impact in Your School District

FRAC and the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) have released new state-by-state fact sheets detailing the devastating consequences of proposed cuts to the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP).

More than 23 million children attending high-poverty schools rely on CEP to receive free breakfast and lunch. These cuts would force over 24,000 schools nationwide, serving more than 12 million children, to drop CEP, stripping critical support from struggling families, weakening local economies, and pushing more children into hunger and poverty.
