Advocacy
Funding threats to Medicaid and SNAP-Ed put essential health and nutrition services at immediate risk for thousands in our communities. Urgent advocacy is critical to protect these vital programs that provide nutrition education and medical coverage. You can help.
Medicaid
If you carry one of these cards, threats to Medicaid could threaten your care.
Act now to protect Medicaid and ensure continued access to vital healthcare services for millions of families.
SNAP-Ed
SNAP-Ed is in jeopardy and your voice matters. This vital program does more than teach nutrition. It’s part of our healthcare system, supporting WIC, food banks, and community gardens, improving food access, and uplifting local farmers and veterans. Cutting SNAP-Ed would harm families and communities across Pennsylvania and beyond.
In Pennsylvania this year:
- 158,095 people received nutrition education
- 604,542 residents were reached through policy, systems, and environmental (PSE) strategies
- 1.1 million views were generated through social media and other forms of digital outreach that encourage healthy behaviors.
