TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — Feeding Indiana’s Hungry said they are making an aggressive and targeted media campaign in Indiana this week to protect federal nutrition funding that is under threat from the federal government.
The media campaign includes digital advertising across the Indianapolis, Terre Haute, and Evansville media markets, as well as digital outdoor advertising in the 4th Congressional District.
Feeding Indiana’s Hungry said the campaign aims to “preserve federal nutrition funding, including the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which is under threat in reconciliation legislation currently being considered by the United States Senate.”
The campaign comes as President Donald Trump’s “big beautiful bill” contains a $300 billion cut to SNAP over the next decade. If passed, this could affect more than 600,000 Hoosiers who rely on the SNAP program to feed themselves and their family.
“Hoosiers will continue to struggle feeding their families with the drastic cuts Congress is currently considering,” said Emily Bryant, Executive Director of Feeding Indiana’s Hungry. “The nonprofit sector is already scrambling to meet the need— the lines at food pantries are getting longer by the day— We call on Congress to act now to save lives.”
