Below are two opportunities for anti-hunger advocates to take action and also learn more about COVID-19 response efforts from the broader human needs community. 1. Join FRAC and other leading national, state, and local anti-hunger organizations in signing a letter urging Congress and the White House to use the next federal relief package to strengthen SNAP by increasing the maximum benefit available to all households by 15%, increasing the minimum benefit from $16 to $30, and suspending administrative actions that would eliminate or weaken SNAP benefits. Sign your organization on by 12:00 p.m. Eastern on Friday, April 3 2. Register for the Coalition on Human Needs "Congress and COVID-19: What passed and what comes next" webinar this Friday, April 3 from 2:00-3:15 p.m. Eastern on the broader COVID-19 relief efforts, the recovery legislation enacted by Congress, and next steps.
