July 4^th should be a celebration of American values and apple pie—for all.

But malnutrition stands in the way.

40% of people from low-income households are deficient in essential nutrients.

Currently, the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provides aid for low-income families, helping them buy groceries. However hidden hunger still exists due to lack of access to nutrient dense foods.

A multivitamin can help reduce nutrient deficiencies by two-thirds.

One problem:
SNAP recipients cannot use their benefits to purchase a multivitamin.

Doesn’t make much sense, does it?

Congress has the opportunity to change that with the final passage of the 2018 Farm Bill—at no additional cost to taxpayers.

It’s common sense—for less than a dime a day, allow SNAP recipients to access a multivitamin.

This is not a question of expanding or shrinking the size of the pie—it’s about making the pie as nutritious as possible.
