Kate Hanson, Founder and Executive Director, Meals4Families
We believe that every single one of us in North Carolina deserves to have healthy food on the table.
For over 1.4 million North Carolinians, SNAP is more than just a program—it’s a vital lifeline. SNAP helps put nutritious food on the table for children, seniors, veterans, people with disabilities, and hard-working families across our state. When our neighbors can afford groceries, our whole community benefits.
SNAP is not just good for the individuals and families who rely on it; it’s good for all of us. Every year, close to $2.8 billion SNAP dollars are spent in North Carolina, supporting our local farmers, creating jobs in our grocery stores, reducing health care spending, and keeping our state’s economy moving forward.
But right now, changes in federal policy mean that North Carolina faces a big choice about the future of SNAP. It is up to our elected leaders to ensure that our state continues to participate in this critical program. Organizations, partners, and community members across North Carolina are working together to make sure our state leaders choose to protect SNAP. We know that participating in SNAP strengthens families, schools, health systems, and our state economy.
We invite you to join us in protecting this vital program that makes North Carolina stronger. By joining the Stronger with SNAP campaign, you can help ensure that all of our neighbors have access to the food they need.
