Cindy Axne: “It is a shame that we have food insecurity in this country at all, but the effects of the pandemic have only worsened…”

When you talk about this $30 million, 142,000 households, what do you think the end of this emergency allotment will mean to those families?

Congress needs to be investing in more resources towards conservation programs for research and technical assistance.

I am concerned, however, with how food-insecure families will manage as these pandemic-related emergency allotments for SNAP expire.

the updated Thrifty Food Plan, while modest, is estimated to lift about 2.4 million Americans, including more than a million children, out of poverty this year.
