#HandsOffSNAP: Reps. Doggett & Castro to Defend SNAP at San Antonio Food Bank

San Antonio, Texas – Today, Monday, May 14, U.S. Representative Lloyd Doggett (D-San Antonio) and U.S. Representative Joaquin Castro (D-San Antonio) will stand alongside the San Antonio Food Bank to sound the alarm on the huge cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in the proposed 2018 Farm Bill that the House is expected to vote on this coming week.

Rep. Doggett will detail the devastating effects these proposed cuts would have in our community if passed, including the ways this bill would slash vital assistance lifelines to many food insecure families and individuals in Southwest Texas. He will shine light on the important ways that the SNAP program currently ensures that so many San Antonio children, people with disabilities, veterans, and seniors do not go hungry. Press are encouraged to attend.
