Proposed cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the cancellation of USDA food purchasing initiatives threaten to deepen food insecurity across the U.S. Vulnerable populations—including children, educators, and local farmers—are already feeling the effects as schools and food banks struggle to fill the gap. Feed America remains committed to raising awareness and advocating for policies that protect and nourish communities in need.
Food insecurity impacts more than just physical health; it deeply affects mental and emotional well-being, creating a cycle of stress, anxiety, and depression. Addressing this issue requires holistic solutions that combine access to nutritious food with emotional support, breaking barriers to mental health care. By fostering awareness and advocating for sustainable change, organizations like Feed America are helping to shine a light on the hidden toll of hunger and inspire collective action for a brighter future.
Start the new year with resolutions that not only improve your life but also uplift your community. From volunteering and reducing food waste to advocating for food security and supporting local food systems, small actions can create lasting change. At Feed America, we believe in the power of collective efforts to combat hunger and build a brighter, more connected future—join us in making 2025 a year of impact and kindness.
El Niño, a powerful climate phenomenon, disrupts global weather patterns, leading to droughts, floods, and agricultural instability that worsen food insecurity across the U.S. and beyond. These disruptions disproportionately impact vulnerable communities by driving up food prices and straining supply chains, highlighting the urgent need for sustainable farming practices and strengthened food assistance programs. At Feed America, we are committed to building resilient food systems and uplifting communities to ensure every family has access to the nutrition they need, no matter the challenges posed by climate events like El Niño.
The holiday season brings joy for many, but for families facing food insecurity, it can be a time of heightened stress and hardship. With increased financial pressures and limited access to resources like school meals, millions struggle to provide nutritious food during this critical time. Feed America is committed to addressing holiday hunger through immediate relief and long-term solutions, ensuring every family can experience the hope and togetherness the season should bring.
Donation gardens empower communities to combat food insecurity by growing fresh, nutritious produce for local food banks and shelters, fostering sustainability and collaboration.
