Edly-Allen calls for action to protect Illinois families from SNAP benefit shutdown

GRAYSLAKE – The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) serves as the nation’s largest anti-hunger initiative, reaching more than 40 million Americans every month. Yet ongoing threats to its funding put millions including families, seniors, veterans and children at risk of food insecurity and poor health outcomes.

State Senator Mary Edly-Allen is urging the federal administration to resolve the ongoing government shutdown to prevent the halting of SNAP benefits, on Nov. 1. Nearly two million Illinois residents depend on SNAP to provide basic nutrition for themselves and their families.
