FACTS about SNAP:

-35% to white people (largest share)
-90% to people born in 🇺🇸
-86% to households with kids
-70% work full time but aren’t paid a living wage (aka corporate welfare)

A high percentage of rural Tennesseans use SNAP, as funding set to dry up • Tennessee Lookout The sudden end of SNAP funds will be felt across Tennessee but many rural counties have the highest participation rates in the food program.

"We don’t have much, but we’re going to try our best to have enough food,” said Marilyn Murrell of Of One Accord Ministry’s Hancock County food bank. “It’s sad that it’s come to this. This is America, and no family should be in this situation.”

Local leaders rush to help, but can't fill massive SNAP void • Tennessee Lookout The federal government shutdown threatens the food assistance of millions, leaving food pantries and local governments scrambling to prepare for an onslaught of demand.

Faced with the double whammy of furloughed federal workers and a cut off of SNAP food funds, states are declaring emergencies, deploying National Guard members and sending millions of taxpayer dollars to local food banks. From @stateline.org.

☎️Daily Action Thursday , October 30, Restore Funding for SNAP & WIC Benefits ☎️ 📱Senator/Reps: https://docs.google.com/.../1He3zd8rNqyB5nSX.../edit... 🔹Let's keep pressing this topic as it is very important. 750,000 Alabamaians rely on SNAP. Nearly 23,000 households (1 in 4) in Birmingham rely on SNAP for food support. 🔹adapted from 5calls, Jess Craven and @FeedBHM on instagram 1️⃣Hi, I’m a constituent calling from [zip]. My name is ______. I'm extremely concerned about the impact of the government shutdown on SNAP and WIC benefits for millions of Americans. I’m calling to ask that [REP/SEN NAME] immediately move to end this government shutdown by extending the ACA tax credits and blocking Trump’s illegal budget cuts. Prolonging this shutdown will cause untold suffering for millions of vulnerable people. According to John Foti, the legislative Director of Americans For Tax Fairness, the Trump administration has access to a 6B dollar contingency fund with which they absolutely could fund SNAP. They are choosing not to, because politically they feel it’s better for them to use food shortages to hurt Democrats than to just do their jobs and help people. 🥙🥗🍗🍔In the meantime Donate food and volunteer👇🏼 https://feedingal.org/

The report states that Alabama’s nonprofits are essential but cannot replace the roughly $757 million the state received in federal dollars last year.

Our neighbors aren't draining federal funding, and SNAP isn't a burden on our budgets. Children who don't eat can't perform well in school. People who don't eat face negative health outcomes. Don't let anyone tell you it isn't violence to withhold food from the exploited class of America.

Halloween is nice, but there's a better holiday right behind it

What would you do if you found out you only had a couple of days to figure out how you're going to feed your family next month? How would your life be impacted if the sounds of your stomach growling was the white noise that lulled you off to sleep?

The Food Bank of North Alabama will be distributing food boxes to families of furloughed federal workers Wednesday at Joe Davis Stadium in Huntsville.

Alabama food banks expect ‘unprecedented’ demand as SNAP benefits halt Food banks are preparing for hundreds of thousands of Alabamians to need meals when SNAP benefits pause next month.

Alabama’s food banks are calling the shutdown a disaster.

Starting Saturday, 752,000 Alabamians, half a million kids, 300,000 older adults or people with disabilities, and 24,000 veterans, won’t receive SNAP food assistance.

Food banks were already stretched thin after earlier federal cuts.
