Food insecurity is a growing concern in the Tri-State area, and proposed funding cuts to local food banks are poised to exacerbate the crisis. These cuts threaten the lifeline for countless families and individuals already struggling to put food on the table.
Reduced funding will directly impact the amount of food available, potentially leading to smaller portions, fewer distribution days, and longer wait times. This creates a ripple effect, straining resources and placing immense pressure on already overburdened staff and volunteers.
Local food banks are vital partners in our community, providing not just food, but also hope and stability. Advocating for continued funding is crucial to ensuring they can continue to meet the increasing needs of our neighbors. Learn how you can help by contacting your local representatives and supporting Tri-State area food banks with donations or volunteer hours. The time to act is now to prevent a hunger crisis in our communities.
