With all that is happening around the world, it can be easy to lose sight of the ongoing challenges of families facing food insecurity. People are now beginning to experience the impacts of cuts to SNAP from H.R. 1. We pray for families who rely on SNAP to stretch their grocery budgets, but whose access to that support has changed. Join us in prayer: bread.org/article/prayers-to…

Bread for the World was proud to cohost a bipartisan Food for Peace Reception this week alongside the Interfaith Working Group on Foreign Assistance, celebrating the members of Congress and multifaith partners behind a program that has delivered lifesaving food assistance to millions for over 70 years. Food for Peace reflects the best of who we are, responding to hunger with action, compassion, and global leadership. We’re especially grateful to @RepMann and @RepJimCosta for their continued bipartisan support. Join us in thanking Congress for funding Food for Peace in the FY26 budget and prioritizing programs that help feed our neighbors around the world: go.bread.org/page/93738/acti…

The President’s fiscal year 2027 budget request proposes cuts to programs including $15.5 billion to State Department and international programs that have broad bipartisan support, eliminating Food for Peace and the McGovern-Dole Food for Education Program, $4.3 billion to global health programs, and a $4.9 billion cut to USDA that would drop the WIC cash-value benefit from $50 per month to roughly $10–$13. We are encouraged that members of Congress on both sides of the aisle have reaffirmed the importance of congressional oversight and the power of the purse. We look forward to working with appropriators on both sides of the aisle to ensure our nation’s commitment to ending hunger remains strong. Read the full statement: bread.org/article/bread-for-…
