Lawmakers want to boost efforts to fight food insecurity among veterans by connecting them to the help they need through a new proposal unveiled Thursday. The “End Veteran Hunger Act,” would authorize a five-year pilot program offering $50 million in grants to increase outreach and education for veterans; to connect them to federal programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP); and to reduce the stigma associated with using such programs.

At first blush this seems like a good Veteran program for those who need this type of assistance...

Lt Col Charlie Brown I hope this program is successful. Veteran's deserve this assistance. At one time I had to go on food stamps to feed my family. It was embarrassing to have to ask for the help and admitting that I wasn't able to provide for my family's needs. As soon as I could I got off the program even though we were still eligible at the time.

Are you a veteran or caregiving for one? Do you need food assistance and where are you? Send me a connection request and then a message.

I am the care giver. We were looking for assistance in purchasing food.
