CT SNAP Shots

Share your "CT SNAPshot"

Help EHC! Protect SNAP/Food Stamp Funding

Back in the day you might have called them Food Stamps.  Now we call it SNAP.  Either way the program has helped millions of people get ahead.  Share your CT SNAPshot and tell the House and Senate how SNAP has positively impacted your life!

The House and Senate are proposing cuts to the Farm Bill that could significantly reduce oreliminate benefits for 85,000 of the 400,000 Connecticut residents currently receiving SNAP benefits.  That means 20% fewer Connecticut residents will be able to put food on the table each day.
WE NEED YOUR HELP TO PROTECT SNAP BENEFITS FOR CONNECTICUT FAMILIES FACING FOOD HARDSHIP!
In 100 words or less, tell us how SNAP has changed your life for the better.  Did SNAP allow you to stop worrying about how to pay bills and buy nutritious food for your family while juggling work and school?  Were SNAP benefits integral in helping you to better your career?  Was SNAP vital to supporting an elderly or disabled friend or family member? Submit your CT SNAPshot today and let the House and Senate know why cutting SNAP benefits isn’t the solution.
