## Content

INTRODUCTION SNAP HELPS PEOPLE BUY FOOD, BUT IT’S HANDLED DIFFERENTLY IN EACH STATE, LEADING TO CONFUSION AND UNEQUAL ACCESS. THIS PROPOSAL SUGGESTS CREATING ONE NATIONAL FOOD FUND—SIMPLE, DIRECT, AND OPEN TO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO HELP. THE IDEA INSTEAD OF RELYING ON SCATTERED PROGRAMS AND LOCAL CHARITIES, WE BUILD ONE FEDERAL FUND. IT WOULD HAVE A SINGLE ACCOUNT NUMBER FOR DONATIONS, MANAGED BY THE GOVERNMENT. THE MONEY GOES DIRECTLY TO PEOPLE WHO QUALIFY FOR FOOD ASSISTANCE THROUGH EXISTING SYSTEMS. HOW IT WORKS DONORS SEND MONEY TO ONE NATIONAL ACCOUNT. THE GOVERNMENT DISTRIBUTES IT AS FOOD CREDITS, DIGITAL VOUCHERS, OR DIRECT BENEFITS. NO NEED TO PICK WHO GETS HELP—FUNDS ARE ALLOCATED BASED ON NEED. PRIVACY IS PROTECTED, AND CLEAR OVERSIGHT ENSURES ACCOUNTABILITY. WHY IT MATTERS THIS SYSTEM SIMPLIFIES GIVING AND MAKES FOOD SUPPORT FAIR AND CONSISTENT ACROSS THE COUNTRY. ANYONE—INDIVIDUALS, BUSINESSES, EVEN GLOBAL SUPPORTERS—CAN TAKE PART. IT TURNS FOOD SECURITY INTO A SHARED NATIONAL MISSION. NEXT STEPS LAUNCH IT AS A PILOT IN A FEW STATES, THEN EXPAND. ONE SYSTEM, ONE ACCOUNT, ONE NATION WORKING TOGETHER TO END HUNGER.
