The House Agriculture Committee recently passed its version of the Farm Bill, which funds vital nutrition assistance programs including the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP (formerly known as food stamps). The bill, which would cut a staggering $21 billion from the program, would deal a tough blow to low-income families across the country struggling to put food on the table and make ends meet—right at the time when such families are coping with cuts to other vital safety net supports like housing assistance, child care, and Head Start as part of sequestration. In fiscal year 2013, SNAP has served more than 47 million people on average each month.
