All Faiths Food Bank Responds to Passage of Budget Reconciliation Bill
The Giving Coast
SRQ DAILY WEDNESDAY PHILANTHROPY EDITION

With the passage of the budget reconciliation bill last week, our country will experience the biggest cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Medicaid in a generation. The bill will take food and health care from millions of children, seniors, veterans and people with disabilities in Florida and across the country. At a time when food insecurity is rising nationwide and the cost of food and health care remains high, this legislation will worsen the crisis. All Faiths Food Bank is deeply concerned that these cuts will eliminate the equivalent of around 6 billion meals each year and strip health care coverage from at least 8 million people. These cuts will increase challenges for people facing hunger who are doing everything they can to get by and place even greater pressure on food banks and meal programs responding to the growing need.
