Hunger-fighting group Feeding Texas calls on Congress to bolster, not cut, nutrition programs
As federal lawmakers debate changes to the annual farm bill, the top official at hunger-fighting coalition Feeding Texas is calling on them to make it easier, not harder, to access food aid. The request by Feeding Texas — a network of 21 food banks and 60 hunger-fighting organizations — comes as Republican lawmakers vie to limit access to food assistance programs as part of the debt-ceiling debate. Currently, 80% of farm bill funds go toward nutrition programs.
