Many people in America are a single missed paycheck away from needing support from their local food banks. A prolonged shutdown will deepen the strain.

Quote from Feeding America CEO Claire Babineaux-Fontenot. When the federal government shuts down, uncertainty begins immediately.

Federal nutrition programs and food banks work hand in hand to strengthen communities. We urge lawmakers in Congress to invest in families, farmers and people facing hunger by supporting critical programs like TEFAP, CSFP and WIC in federal appropriations.
