Call 1-855-48TABLE (488-2253)

When you call, you will be connected to your member of Congress’ office. Here's what to say:

1.   “SNAP, formerly food stamps, is a critical anti-hunger safety net program that effectively and efficiently helps 47 million low-income Americans put food on the table. You must work to protect and strengthen SNAP, as you consider the 2013 farm bill.”

2.   “I urge you to support efforts to restore cuts to the program and to vigorously oppose any proposals that cut SNAP."    

3.  “As a constituent and a voter, I plan to stay informed about how you and your colleagues address hunger in the United States.”
