Commentary: There is a high cost to keeping Utah children poor and hungry
“SNAP is good for families and good for our communities. I’ve found our representative is out of touch with the experience of everyday Utahns, particularly children. The impact of poverty on children is uniquely devastating and destructive. Make no mistake, there is a very high cost to keeping children poor and hungry. Investments in programs that reduce childhood poverty and hunger save our country many dollars in the long term and help raise stronger children.”
