Missouri Updates
February 26, 2025 Update
In partnership with Feeding Missouri, Harvesters is monitoring and supporting HB 916, which would fully opt Missouri out of the lifetime ban on SNAP for those with a drug related felony. Additionally, we are monitoring bills related to the food pantry tax credit, universal school meals, and reduced-price copays. Finally, SNAP choice restriction bills have also been introduced, and we are working with our partners to oppose these.
