As of June 2025, food banks across the country are expressing deep concern over proposed cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), a critical lifeline for millions of Americans. The bill, now under consideration in the U.S. Senate, would significantly weaken the program and increase strain on already overburdened food banks. To understand the urgency of this moment and the potential impact on families in our region, we encourage you to read the Op-Ed by Northeast Iowa Food Bank Executive Director Barb Prather. Her message highlights why meaningful changes to the current bill are essential.
We need your help to make sure policymakers understand the importance of protecting access to food. No one should go hungry, and budget cuts should never come at the cost of our most basic need. Speak up with us to ensure everyone has a seat at the table.
Reach out to your state representatives to tell them about hunger in our community.
