Every month, SNAP brings more than $365 million in cash benefits that can only be used on food - supporting the entire food supply chain, including more than 10,000 grocers, and food retailers and Pennsylvania's nearly 50,000 farm families.The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service found that for every $1 billion issued in federal SNAP benefits, our economy grows by $1.54 billion through job retention and creation and income for farmers and other food producers.SpeakersKrystal Wasson, Wasson Family FarmMatt Espenshade, Pennsylvania State Grange PresidentSecretary Russel ReddingPA Rep.
