ADVISORY – PERRY COUNTY – Shapiro Administration Continues to Stand Up for Pennsylvania Families and Farmers Against Harmful Proposed Federal SNAP Funding Cuts
Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding will join agriculture business leaders and farmers at People’s Provisions to bring attention to the potentially disastrous consequences that proposed federal funding reductions for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) will have on Pennsylvania farmers, grocery businesses, and families. SNAP benefits bring in approximately $365 million each month to Pennsylvania’s economy, and any potential SNAP changes or cuts would lead to fewer resources for those who need the most help and economic losses for our food banks and retail grocers.
The Shapiro Administration is committed to fighting hunger in Pennsylvania while supporting our farmers and the agriculture industry in the noble work they do to feed people. Governor Josh Shapiro’s 2025-26 budget proposes increased investments to help end hunger and support farms across Pennsylvania.
