Longtime Indianapolis hunger relief leader completes 16-day fast to show the impact of federal food cutbacks as Congress debates spending plans. 
 
Bread’s Dave Miner missed one meal for every million meals at risk for Hoosier children, seniors and veterans, urging Congress to avoid SNAP cuts. Miner says "There’s no charitable solution for the SNAP cuts being considered in Congress. Public investments like SNAP are essential to any realistic blueprint for ending hunger – as constituents and taxpayers, we must tell our elected representatives to protect these programs and the at-risk families that they help.”

"Bread for the World members are not most folks. When it comes to anti-hunger advocacy, we don't check the opt-out box because the policy is complex or the numbers seem daunting. We don't turn to other issues because partisanship has heated up, legislation is blocked up, and people are fed up.”
— Amelia Kegan, Bread for the World senior policy analyst
