📢 Proposed cuts to SNAP & Medicaid could mean fewer kids get the school meals they rely on. Congress is preparing to vote on a reconciliation package that includes major funding cuts to SNAP and Medicaid—programs that help determine school meal eligibility through direct certification. Here’s what that means for students and schools: 🚫 Fewer children will automatically qualify for free or reduced-price meals 📄 More paperwork for already overwhelmed families and school nutrition staff 🍽️ A real risk that eligible students fall through the cracks and miss meals 💡 Direct certification allows children in SNAP or Medicaid households to get school meals without extra applications. It’s a proven, efficient system that ensures vulnerable students don’t go hungry—and it eases the burden on schools. Now, that system is at risk. 🎯 We need your voice. Join us in calling on Congress to oppose these harmful cuts and protect access to school meals for all children. 👉 Take action today: https://schoolnutrition.quorum.us/campaign/124947/ #ProtectSchoolMeals #SchoolNutrition #SNA (fb)
