On Nov. 1, without immediate action by Congress, federal funding for SNAP, WIC, and free and reduced-price school meals will run out.

This means in a matter of days, tens of millions of Americans, including children, will go hungry.

As the shutdown continues, we hold in prayer those are now going without pay, federal workers that have lost their jobs, those who could soon lose WIC and SNAP benefits, and our elected leaders who are tasked with creating a federal budget.

On #InternationalDayoftheGirlChild, we highlight solutions to close the hunger gap for women and girls. Poverty is a key factor: Native American women have the highest poverty rate in the U.S. at 20.4%. It’s a solvable problem rooted in injustice. Use your voice to advocate for an equitable world.

A stark truth for Puerto Rico: Up to 1/3 of its population faces food insecurity. Despite being U.S. citizens, they are excluded from SNAP. This #HispanicHeritageMonth, we're advocating for equitable food assistance for all U.S. citizens.

The U.S. government has shut down – with no clear end in sight. These shutdowns often have a devastating impact on people who struggle to put food on the table and are especially hard on lower- and middle-income federal employees and contractors who will not be paid.
