Thousands of Virginia families are about to feel the impact of Washington’s proposed SNAP cuts and kids will be hit the hardest.

Right now, more than 700,000 Virginia students qualify for free or reduced lunch. But those meals are tied to SNAP enrollment. If SNAP gets slashed, fewer kids will automatically qualify for the food they rely on to stay focused and fed in school.

This isn’t just a school lunch issue. Cutting SNAP could cost Virginia nearly $4 billion in economic activity and wipe out 22,000 jobs. Grocery stores, farmers markets, and entire communities will feel the fallout.

This is about protecting children and preserving one of the most effective anti-poverty programs in America. Cutting SNAP won’t just hurt those who use it—it will hurt all of us.

We urge the Virginia congressional delegation to fight back against these proposed cuts and keep SNAP strong. Our kids, our schools, and our economy depend on it. Sign to demand action.
