Due to increased need for help our basement, which once contained weeks worth of food, is close to empty. This article by @SpencerJosephTV on @fox13 includes insight from @UAgainstHunger about how this is a statewide problem. fox13now.com/community/empty…

We must strengthen #WIC to provide vital nutrition support for millions of women and children as it currently faces potential funding cuts. Text FundWIC to 888-418-5699 to tell your Senator to protect & robustly fund WIC! actionnetwork.org/call_campa…

"When we make cuts - in SNAP, for example - it doesn't just hurt low-income folks," said Wilson. "It hurts the entire food system, where we're losing additional revenue - for grocery stores, for farmers' markets, for farmers, for producers." publicnewsservice.org/2024-0…

One in every four Americans participates in federal nutrition programs such as #WIC or #SNAP.
Congress needs to keep on improving and expanding the programs that help women, children, and families, not gutting them.

With rising food costs and increased participation in #WIC, it is essential that Congress step up and fully fund WIC now. Read more from NWA Board Chair, Kate Franken, @bread4theworld, and @toendhunger in @thehill: thehill.com/opinion/finance/…

Today, @USDA announced that it is giving an estimated 3,000 more school districts in high-need areas the option to serve breakfast and lunch to all students at no cost. usda.gov/media/press-release…

📢More funding for #WIC is needed!
26 Sep 2023
As the @WhiteHouse emphasized yesterday, #WIC would quickly run out of federal funding if the government shuts down, putting millions of pregnant people, new parents, and very young children who rely on WIC for healthy food at risk of being turned away. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room…

It wasn’t enough for House Rs to add older adults to #SNAP’s harmful work-reporting requirements in the #DebtCeiling agreement -- they’re back at it w/ 3 proposed amendments to the Ag Approps bill coming this week that would take food away from more than 1M ppl w/ low-incomes.

It's back to school season! Are your children enrolled in free/reduced-priced breakfast and lunch? Your child's school can provide you with the application. Have questions about the program? Call the Hunger Hotline!

The GOP sham plan to keep the government open includes massive cuts to programs hungry people rely on. I can’t think of a more rotten thing to do!
We must reject cuts and fund @POTUS’ $1.4 billion supplemental WIC request. America's most vulnerable are counting on us.

‘…. The Small Town Market owner also told Eyewitness News the grocery store had seen a slow decrease in customers ever since West Virginia EBT funding was cut back…..’ #SNAP
The only grocery store in the Clay County has just gone out of business. Now, residents will have to drive anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour to reach one.

“It’s a positive way to run a school cafeteria,” said FRAC's Crystal FitzSimons. “Teachers don’t have to worry about kids coming back from lunch hungry or even starting the school day hungry and not ready to learn.” dallasobserver.com/news/dall…

The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) delivers healthy food & nutrition to vulnerable moms, babies, & kids. With rising food costs & more participation, WIC needs more funding. Tell Congress adequately fund WIC at bit.ly/PROTECTWIC
