We just heard @GovMikeDeWine announce his plans to include a $2,500 tax deduction for families with children in the #OhioSOTS23. If refundable, this could be an impactful investment in Ohio kids and caregivers.

Last week, we visited CHOPIN Hall, a @WestOhioFB member food pantry in Findlay. Their drive-thru distribution, which is open multiple days/week, had a long line of cars the full 2 hrs we were there. Here are some of the folks we met, in their own words (#HungerActionMonth 🧵)

[Ohio Association of Foodbanks @OhioFoodbanks]

Big news! We're partnering w/ @FreestoreFB, @SecondHarvestOH, & @theSHFB to engage older adult volunteers in ~50,000 volunteer hours to #GetThingsDone through a new @AmeriCorpsSr grant! They will support strategies to improve child & senior nutrition & access to healthy food.

Please take action to urge members of the U.S. House to support additional funding for TEFAP to help foodbanks in Ohio and across the country continue to meet the need in our communities. Use our simple tool to email your member of Congress: https://t.co/46LKed1WNI

Please read and retweet! Your local food banks continue to serve more people prior to the pandemic. This support will truly make a difference!

“To counter all these headwinds, @OhioFoodbanks are asking the @GovMikeDeWine admin for support from the >$3 billion in American Rescue Plan funds still available to the state.”
