  • 2025 - 2 Live Conversation with Rep. Judy Chu: Potential Cuts to SNAP and Medicaid

    2025 - 2 Live Conversation with Rep. Judy Chu: Potential Cuts to SNAP and Medicaid
    Feb 21 2025

    On this special episode, Rabbi Joshua welcomes Congresswoman Judy Chu (CA-28) to the Food Pantry, after her office reached out about coming to talk about potential federal funding cuts to SNAP and Medicaid. SNAP is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which is funded via the USDA, and provides low-income families food benefits to supplement their grocery budget.

    Rabbi Joshua and Rep. Chu discuss the dangers these cuts pose to so many Americans, including those coming to FID.
