In the next few days, Congress will vote on a final Farm Bill. This bill will determine how much food assistance is provided to hungry children, seniors, and veterans for the next five years. But our work is not done – we need you to help us get this bill across this finish line! 

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) feeds more than 40 million Americans every single year, including 1 in every 4 children. The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) provides over 700 million meals a year to food banks nationwide. In the coming days, Congress will consider a bipartisan, final Farm Bill that protects these critical programs. We need our lawmakers to vote YES and pass the bill to ensure we keep these programs strong for those living with hunger.

Tell Congress to vote YES on the proposed final Farm Bill that protects SNAP and TEFAP for Oklahoma families living with hunger!
