Fully restore State Food Assistance's benefits

Fully restore State Food Assistance's benefits

The Issue

" A reduction to State Food Assistance in 2012 put nearly 14,000 children in immigrant families at great risk of hunger.

"Last year, state lawmarkers partially restored State Food Assistance by bringing benefit levels to 75 percent of benefits provided to Basic Food (SNAP or food stamps). This session, we ask that they do right by Washington's future and fully fund State Food Assitance."
