Dear {{target_appropriate_greeting}},

Access to healthy food plays an important role in supporting heart and brain health. Unfortunately, too many people in our communities struggle to put healthy food on the table.

The version of the farm bill passed by the House Agriculture Committee does not address the disruptive cuts and programmatic changes made to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and nutrition education in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Reauthorizing a farm bill is one of the most important opportunities Congress has to strengthen the health and well-being of people nationwide, but only if it puts health first by restoring drastic cuts to key nutrition programs.

As your constituent, I ask that you vote no on the farm bill passed by the House Committee on Agriculture, and that you do not support any farm bill that does not address these devastating changes to critical anti-hunger and nutrition programs. Instead, I ask you to put health first by passing a farm bill that elevates the needs of people across the country, restores SNAP and nutrition education and rejects provisions that jeopardize access to nutritious foods.

Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to your response.

As Congress works to update the farm bill, there’s a real opportunity to make healthy food more accessible for millions of people—and that matters for heart and brain health in communities across the country.

Historically, the farm bill includes critical anti-hunger and nutrition programs that support children, older adults, people with disabilities and those with chronic health conditions.

The House is going to vote on a farm bill this week that does not restore the drastic cuts made last year to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or nutrition education. Millions of people rely on these programs to afford groceries and make healthier choices, and restoring this funding would strengthen access to nutritious foods.

Access to healthy, nutritious food plays an important role in supporting heart and brain health. As lawmakers move forward, Congress has a tremendous opportunity to craft a farm bill that puts health first by restoring funding for SNAP and nutrition education and rejecting provisions that will make it harder for people to access healthy food.

Tell your Member of Congress to support a farm bill that puts health first!
