Food bankers were in D.C. today to meet with lawmakers. 📣️ Congress must protect nutrition programs like TEFAP and SNAP in budget negotiations. Reduced funding would harm our neighbors facing hunger in every county across the country. #FoodBankFlyIn

Volunteers at the MANNA food bank in Asheville, NC serve as a powerful reminder of the importance of community. Their facility was destroyed by Hurricane Helene, but within a matter of days, they stepped up to keep serving those in need.

The #ChildTaxCredit improvements already passed in the House would strengthen a proven tool to help millions more children thrive. The Senate plans to vote TODAY on the bipartisan tax legislation with #CTC expansion. We urge @SenateDems and @SenateGOP to VOTE YES! ⏳

Good news! Tonight, the House passed, with a strong bipartisan vote, a tax bill with a #ChildTaxCredit expansion that would help about 16 million children in families with low incomes. The Senate should quickly pass this important legislation. https://t.co/AnlXPHqMep

Scarlett Johansson credits the ability to have a full plate as something that helped her fuel her love of theater and acting. When people are fed, futures are nourished. Join the movement to end hunger now: https://t.co/lZVa8IJACA 🧡

The #FarmersFeedingAmerica Act would significantly increase funding for The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP), supporting farmers and families across the country!
With higher rates of food insecurity in Oregon and across the country, food banks are struggling to keep up with demand. My new bill with @RepJimmyPanetta would support small family farms, ensure food banks are fully stocked, and help keep families fed this holiday season.

Today’s stunning rise in poverty is the direct result of policy choices — including Congress’s decision to allow the successful #ChildTaxCredit expansion to expire. Policymakers should expand the #ChildTaxCredit this year and reverse this troubling trend.

#OTD 1964, the Food Stamp Act became law, a major step towards ensuring all working families can access healthy meals. Congress needs to build on this progress & pass my bill, the EATS Act, to expand food & nutrition benefits to college students. No one should go to bed hungry.
