“The US emergency food system is chronically underfunded,” said DEOHS Assoc. Prof. @jenotten. “When an emergency comes along, public investments are often not enough because the infrastructure hasn’t been built.” New in @uwsph Public Health Magazine: https://t.co/Wf4bFcQyR2

[Rep. Jim McGovern @RepMcGovern]

Show me a congressional district anywhere in the country—urban or rural, red state or blue—and I’ll show you working families struggling to put food on the table.

It's time to correct the record on SNAP.

My op-ed for @thehill: https://t.co/xPXD3vlRei

[Seattle Channel @SeattleChannel]

1 in 8 people in the U.S. used SNAP benefits in 2022. As food prices soar and SNAP resources shrink, Washingtonians are finding new ways to help neighbors in need. WATCH: https://t.co/C9s8A8e6ij
