Take the SNAP Challenge

Members of Congress are taking the SNAP Challenge and eating on $4.50 a day. More than 860,000 New Jerseyans receive SNAP, and proposed cuts to the program would slash more than $20.5 billion over ten years, resulting in more than 2 million eligible SNAP recipients being cut from the program. Rep. Payne, Jr. is taking the challenge to raise awareness about these shameful cuts and to help preserve this important program.
