Take Action: Release SNAP Reserves for November
The government is still shutdown, and millions of people will be left without critical food assistance to feed their families on November 1st if urgent action is not taken. USDA has announced they will not release contingency funds. In previous government shutdowns, we have never seen a lapse in benefits that was not met with a way to fill the gaps. It is unacceptable to leave millions hungry.

We must continue to demand that essential programs like SNAP are protected, and no one is left hungry. Your continued support is essential to our work to connect people to the monthly $350+ million dollars in SNAP benefits that are used to support over 100,000 food retailers here in Pennsylvania — and keep households fed.
In solidarity,
Heather and the Just Harvest Team
