Today, FMI emphasized the urgent need for Congress to reopen the government to ensure continued funding for SNAP, which is vital to helping struggling families put food on their tables.

Arlington, VA – FMI – The Food Industry Association today emphasized the urgent need for Congress to reopen the government to ensure continued funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which is vital to helping struggling families put food on their tables. FMI Chief Public Policy Officer Jennifer Hatcher offered the following statement.

“Now is the time for Congress to end the government shutdown to ensure that our most vulnerable Americans continue to have access to the food they need to feed their families through SNAP. USDA has indicated that current funding may be insufficient to provide full benefits for November unless a continuing resolution is enacted very soon.

“We urge Congress to move forward now on a path that reopens the government and ensures families relying on SNAP can access their November benefits without interruption or delay."
