Consequences of recent #SNAP turmoil is not over. Even if benefits make it to those who need them many have made ends meet by sacrificing other things -rent, utilities, etc. These effects will spill into the future for many. Karen Ehrens explains on @wuky.org. www.wuky.org/wuky-news/20...

This #VeteransDay we honor those who dedicated their lives to protecting the freedom of our nation. As we pay our respects, let’s also remember 1 in 9 working age veterans face food insecurity. They served us. We can't and won't leave them behind.

📢 Join us FRIDAY for the 2025 HFC Virtual Summit! It has been a news-packed and admittedly chaotic few months in the world of hunger and malnutrition across the country. What are the latest developments? How are communities responding? Register Today! www.accelevents.com/e/2025-hunge...

Alliance pres Eric Mitchell joined Amna Nawaz & @pbsnews.org News Hour to talk about the latest around #SNAP. We must ensure those in need are getting essential SNAP benefits ASAP; & we need to get the gov't open again so we don't have this same convo next month. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxzL...

The Alliance to End Hunger calls on the Trump administration to comply with Thursday’s federal court order to fully fund #SNAP benefits for the month of November and for the Department of Justice to withdraw its appeal. alliancetoendhunger.org/alliance-to-...

People who rely on #SNAP to feed themselves and their families need it NOW. Unfortunately, it's not easy. Karen Ehrens talks to Agri-Pulse Communications about why this is such a nightmare. Again, this could have been avoided.

‼️(THREAD) Today, NWA learned that $450 million in additional funding has been allocated to WIC. The White House Office of Management and Budget has initiated the transfer with state agencies expected to receive them within the next two days.

We are following the latest #SNAP developments closely. USDA has decided to provide partial funding, which will leave many families short in their ability to purchase the food they need. This was avoidable! alliancetoendhunger.org/alliance-to-...

Today Eric Mitchell joined @cnn.com This Morning to talk about the dire situation faced by millions of people waking up to find their needed monthly #SNAP benefits have not arrived. We urge USDA to do the right thing and get people the assistance they need.

We're keeping a close eye on the court orders released in regards to #SNAP. In the meantime, we are keeping the pressure on to ensure USDA uses its available funds to fully fund food assistance. Follow the link below! ujoin.co/campaigns/37...

"Imagine you're working a job or two or even three, and then with a week before the end of the month you learn that the money that you had been counting on for food for your family isn't going to be there." Karen Ehrens on the Plain Talk podcast. #SNAP podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/6...

“USDA has both the authority and ability to maintain food assistance benefits throughout the shutdown, and they should for the sake and health of our vulnerable families and communities.” -Alliance President Eric Mitchell Read our latest statement: alliancetoendhunger.org/alliance-to-...

Legal challenges are flowing in to ensure that people in need are able to continue receiving #SNAP, just as they have through other shutdowns, using the money that is available. ICYMI: Minerva Delgado spoke to @georgetownlaw.bsky.social David Super about it. www.buzzsprout.com/2451786/epis...

Tune in to 1A on WAMU and NPR today at 10:20am ET. The Alliance's Eric Mitchell will join to talk about the #Shutdown, #WIC, and #FoodSecurity. Should be a great discussion! the1a.org/segments/wha...

“Everyone wants their children & grandchildren to have healthy lives where they can be their most productive... and WIC definitely helps babies get off on the right start to do that.” - Karen Ehrens, Alliance to End Hunger www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

This morning ushered in a partial government shutdown and new anxieties for millions of mothers who rely on #WIC for themselves & children. Congress must act NOW to ensure WIC does not move from urgent to crisis! See @natwicassoc.bsky.social statement below: www.nwica.org/press-releas...

We are deeply troubled by news that #USDA will be discontinuing their food security survey. The survey is incredibly important to those committed to ending hunger in America, and its cancellation sends the message that hunger is no longer a priority. alliancetoendhunger.org/usda-decisio...

"Hunger is not just about the absence of food, it’s also about the absence of nourishing, developmentally supportive food experiences." Dr. Fernando & The Dr. Yum Project work hard to encourage child nutrition, and we are looking forward to working together! alliancetoendhunger.org/dr-yum-proje...
