Share Your SNAP Story

SNAP is for everyone.

Recent changes to SNAP have affected New Hampshire in many ways, from households to school halls to the hallways of the statehouse.

One of the most effective ways to make your voice heard - and truly influence policy and hearts and minds - is to tell your story.

This isn’t just hypothetical; our federal representatives have asked specifically for your stories. Because your stories have power in places of power.

Please consider sharing how SNAP affects you, your community, and/or the people you care for.

Here are our questions, but please feel free to add other important information!

  • How has SNAP affected you (or your family, friends, or community?)

  • How have you (or family, friends, and community) been affected by SNAP cuts or stricter work requirements?

  • What would you like policymakers to know about barriers to accessing SNAP?

YOUR SNAP STORY

Your willingness to share your story is so appreciated!

You have control over your privacy and how your story is told. Once you submit (if you choose to enter your email) someone from our team will reach out. If you do not choose to enter your contact information, it is implied that you have given consent for us to share your story without us contacting you first.

  • To Remain Anonymous: Write ‘Anon’ as your name. If you would still like to speak to a staff member about your story, enter your email.

  • To Be Named Publicly: Provide your full name and email address.

    You can also share your story directly with Fionn Shea, Director of Communications and Grassroots Policy at NH Hunger Solutions, at fshea@nhhungersolutions.org.

  • Shared directly with state policymakers.

  • Quoted in social media campaigns or news articles.

  • Used as part of testimony presented during legislative hearings.

  • Potentially developed into a short video presentation.
