Call your lawmaker

Here’s how you can help protect SNAP, and our neighbors experiencing food insecurity

1. Dial 202-224-3121.
2. If you do not know the name of your Congress Member, say, “I’m not sure.”
3. Say, “Representative.”
4. Say your zip code.
5. Confirm the Representative.
6. When connected with the office, you can leave a message with the staffer who answers or ask to be connected to the staffer who works on SNAP.
7. Sample script: “Hi, my name is [your name], and I’m your constituent. I’m calling because I’m really concerned about the proposed cuts to SNAP. With grocery prices rising and more people struggling to afford food, now is the worst time to cut this program. SNAP helps more than 800,000 Virginians, including more than 300,000 children and 118,000 seniors put food on the table. I urge [Representative] to protect SNAP and oppose any cuts or state cost sharing.“
