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.

Glad more help is available to those who need just in time to help offset inflated food costs. For many getting enough food before was difficult but it will be getting much worse in the near future.

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.
