KEEP Michigan FED.
As the end of the month approaches and the government shutdown continues, millions of families who rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) are at immediate risk of losing access to critical nutrition support. SNAP helps over 1.4 million Michiganders afford groceries. Without swift action, November benefits may be delayed or disrupted — leaving families to face hunger and hardship.

United Ways are on the front lines, responding to crisis, but we can’t fundraise our way to food security. Please consider sharing your story with your Congressperson and ask them to do everything within their power to ensure the continuation of SNAP benefits.
