WORLD WORLDWIDE USA TEXAS care2petitions News Journal Update - Tens of thousands of Texans are going hungry for the holidays

 

Greg Abbott should be ashamed. Hungry Families Are Being Forced to Wait "Six Months or More" For Help Buying Food in Texas. This Is Unacceptable.      Sign Now      Dear friends,   It's the holiday season — a time for gathering with loved ones to exchange gifts, create memories or reminisce about past ones, and eat lots and lots of good food. That is, unless you are a resident of Texas who needs help buying groceries.   You see, in Texas, local policymakers have left hungry families out in the cold, allowing wait times for Supplemental Nutrition and Assistance Program (SNAP) applications to go for six months or longer!   Do you think you could go six months or longer without buying groceries? Us either.   The health, happiness, and literal survival of Texas' citizens hangs in the balance. We must let Greg Abbott and his administration know that the world is watching, and we demand support and justice for the tens of thousands of vulnerable people being affected by this gross negligence.   Sign the petition to demand the governor end the unbearably long SNAP delays in Texas and feed the hungry! Thank you, Lauren Care2 Petitions Team P.S. People in Texas who have applied for food stamps are being forced to wait for months for help buying good. Sign to tell Texas: feed the hungry!      Sign Now
