For nearly 45 years, Feeding the Gulf Coast has worked alongside our Gulf Coast communities to increase access to nutritious food to build stronger, more resilient communities. In light of executive actions taken last week, we would like to open a channel of communication to discuss potential impacts in our community.
Our team is closely monitoring policy developments, including potential changes to federal funding and other key issues that affect hunger relief. Through active and ongoing advocacy at the local, state, and federal levels, we are working to ensure that your constituents and neighbors facing hunger and uncertainty receive the support they need. We're uniquely positioned in this work through our breadth of programs and services and expansive network of our 800 partners serving our Gulf Coast communities.
We remain dedicated to collaborating with community leaders, nonprofit partners, volunteers, and supporters to provide essential resources to families, children, and seniors who rely on us. Our commitment to our mission and our community remains steadfast. We stand ready to work alongside you to ensure that hunger is met with action.
Your leadership is critical in this effort to strengthen and protect the programs and policies that fight food insecurity. As such, we would like to discuss the impacts of potential policy changes so that you may have the critical context and insights to help you navigate these challenging times.
