Policy Changes Impacting Hunger Relief
July 2025 Update
Due to state and federal program cuts, the Foodbank expects to distribute 5-6 million fewer pounds of food (15% of total distribution) in 2025.

These shifts come at a time when the need for food assistance is higher than during the pandemic, and last year was our largest year of food distribution to date. We need your voice and support now more than ever. Please stay engaged and continue to advocate for neighbors facing hunger in our community.
