BINGHAMTON, N.Y. -- Community members and volunteer pantries are asking Congresswoman Claudia Tenney to vote "no" on the upcoming Farm Bill.

The proposal includes $20 billion in cuts to SNAP, or the supplemental nutrition assistance program.

Concerned residents joined the Community Hunger Outreach Warehouse to voice their opposition Thursday.

The bill implements work requirement programs, enforces the federal income cutoff for SNAP benefits, and takes housing benefits into account when calculating people's income.

Last year in Broome County, programs like CHOW donated more than 2 million pounds of food to families in need.

Organizers say SNAP benefits only provide enough money for 20 days of food each month.

"People rely on the emergency food services in our community to fill those other days, and with a cut, even if it's one or two days, that's going to put a burden on our community," said Michael Leahey, Broome County Council of Churches Director of Development.

Congresswoman Claudia Tenney says she will be voting "Yes" on the Farm Bill.

She claims there is plenty of misinformation out there and it will actually increase benefits, especially for the homeless.
