The Uncertainty of Federal Policy Changes
Programs like SNAP are critical for individuals and families in need, but right now, members of Congress are pushing forward budget proposals that would slash funding for essential food aid. SNAP provides vital support to millions of Americans, including over 850,000 New Jerseyans. Yet, proposed cuts and eligibility restrictions threaten to undermine these programs, leaving many families vulnerable to hunger.
We know that hunger isn’t caused by a lack of food — it’s caused by systemic barriers that prevent people from accessing it. When programs like SNAP, WIC, and school meals are cut or restricted, those barriers become even harder to overcome. The stakes are high, and we can’t afford to wait. We need to ensure that food assistance programs remain intact so that all New Jerseyans can have access to the food they need.
