Hunger
Shouldn't
be
Normal
As life begins to return to normal this summer, too many families still need food and essentials. Help end summer hunger.
Moving Forward
This past year, COVID-19 brought new awareness to hunger as families suffered record levels of economic hardship. In response, caring people everywhere contributed to a heroic effort of food relief on a massive scale.
This summer is now a critical time. As life returns to normal for many of us, too many children still face the painful consequences of food insecurity as vulnerable families continue to struggle.
Our experience of the pandemic must inspire us to take better care of our neighbors. As we recover, we can’t let hunger be normal again.
Impossible Choices
It’s worth trying to walk in someone else’s shoes — even if it just helps you appreciate how their challenges might be different. When the pressure’s on, it can be tough to make the right decisions, especially when your child’s wellbeing is at stake and there doesn’t seem to be many good options.

Understanding SNAP
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is a federal aid program that provides assistance with buying food to people with lower incomes. SNAP benefits can be used to buy most food items, as well as plants and seeds to grow food, but they cannot be used for prepared or heated food, vitamins or medicines, diapers, pet food or essential household items like cleaning supplies, hygiene products or toilet paper.
