42 million Americans, including children and families, could lose vital #SNAP food benefits by Nov. 1 if the government #shutdown continues. No one should have to go hungry. We hope Congress acts swiftly to end the shutdown and protect access to food assistance so children and families can thrive.

The first five years of a child’s life are a time of wonder. The first smile. The first wobbly steps. The first book held in tiny hands. These moments may seem small, but they carry extraordinary weight. They are the foundation of a healthy, thriving future. https://bit.ly/4nrhKTo
