Episode 27
This week's episode discusses federal legislation that will cut SNAP benefits to recipients across Washington state and nationwide.
We sat down with Sara Seelmeyer, United Way’s Director for Ending Hunger, and Connor Walsh, United Way Associate Director for Public and Private Partnerships. Both recently attended a United Way Worldwide Advocacy Day in Washington, D.C., to speak with members of Congress about the potential impact of those cuts.
We’ll also discuss our free summer meals program for school-age children and a local volunteer opportunity.
I’m your host, Joe Burris. Thanks for tuning in.
