Big news from the Pennsylvania House of Representatives!

Thanks, Feeding Pennsylvania, for sharing the update on this very important piece of legislation.

Feeding Pennsylvania commends the PA House for the unanimous, bipartisan passage of HB 2540, a critical measure to protect SNAP participants from benefit theft.

With nearly 2 million Pennsylvanians relying on SNAP, modernizing EBT infrastructure is vital. Skimming scams have compromised nearly $2.5 million in state benefits this year alone. HB 2540 addresses this by transitioning to secure, chip-enabled technology—bringing EBT cards up to industry standards, safeguarding taxpayers, and ensuring vulnerable families maintain access to food security.

The legislation now moves to the Senate. We encourage state senators to support the swift passage of this common-sense measure to protect our neighbors and secure our local food systems. 🏛️

We’re so grateful to Touch of Class Services for sprucing up the entrance to the food bank! 🌟

Their team always does incredible work with landscaping and snow removal, but this time, they went above and beyond by power-washing the outside of our building.

Thank you so much to the entire team and to the owner, Emilio, for your dedication and support!
