Cutting programs that help families meet basic needs is never a responsible approach to helping them succeed.
At this point in the disaster, the best form of support is financial.
We call on every member of the Texas Congressional delegation to reject these reckless and cruel proposals.
These cuts are a direct attack on nearly 3 million Texans who are struggling to keep up with the rising cost of living in our state.
Yesterday, petty politics prevailed over a bipartisan consensus in the Texas legislature to help hungry kids.

Our new President should recommit America to one of our most important, bipartisan and widely agreed-upon beliefs – that nobody in our nation should go hungry.
The Texas economy is strong, but it is leaving too many people behind.
This program is a win-win for hunters, landowners, processors and Texans who are struggling to make ends meet.
It is unacceptable that Congress is debating cuts to programs like school lunch when so many families are struggling to afford food.
When children don’t have access to good nutrition in the summer they lose ground, and don’t go back to school ready to learn.
Gambling with families’ basic needs is no way to advance core national goals like ending child hunger.
Texas’ strong performance illustrates our commitment to ensuring every child starts the school day nourished and prepared to learn.

SNAP is a proven tool to solve hunger. Our elected leaders should act to help, not hurt struggling families.
SNAP is integral to our statewide goal of filling the "meal gap" experienced by food insecure Texans.
This improvement reflects Texas’ commitment to ensure students start each day nourished and ready to learn.
It’s not right that such want should exist in a state as wealthy as Texas, a state so blessed with agricultural abundance.
Our clients are facing chronic needs. To break this cycle, we must do more to address the causes of hunger.
These numbers show that far too many of our neighbors are facing difficult times.
Texas leads the nation in opportunity, but too many hard-working Texans are still struggling to make ends meet.
What these data tell us is that low-income Texans continue to stumble on the road to economic recovery.
We still only reach a small portion of those who need food during the summer months. We know that sites can and want to do more.
Studies like these underline how hunger can persist even when the economy seems to be getting better.
This farm bill must be the last time that hungry Americans are made to suffer.
Texas has done a good job making this program available, but students clearly still face barriers and stigma in order to eat breakfast before the first bell.
