SNAP, known in Vermont as 3SquaresVT, is a critical lifeline for so many in Vermont. On both the State and national level, protecting and expanding SNAP benefits must be a top priority.
SNAP is a lifeline for millions of families, like Jonetta's, who rely on it to put food on the table. We must protect and strengthen SNAP to ensure no one goes hungry. #EndHungerNow
Balancing school, work, and family is tough, but food help is now easier! Community college students can apply for 3SquaresVT without a work requirement. Call 2-1-1, text VFBSNAP to 85511, or visit vermontfoodhelp.com to check if you qualify.
Folks across Vermont are struggling. As the Legislative Session kicks off tomorrow, we will be advocating for stronger programs to serve everyone in Vermont. Launching the Restaurant Meals Program, expanding the Child Tax Credit, and more. #VTPoli
