🚨 SNAP Benefits Disrupted for Over 40 million Neighbors For the first time in history, the country’s largest anti-hunger program has been disrupted. Over 40 million people — including hard-working families, kids, seniors, and people with disabilities — have temporarily lost access to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) due to the federal shutdown. Across the country, neighbors are doing everything they can to care for their families. Their resilience is extraordinary, but with grocery costs already stretching budgets to the limit, this moment calls for compassion and collective action. Together, we can ensure families and individuals stay nourished through the unexpected and continue to feel the strength of a community that shows up when it matters most. 🧡 Give Now – Your support helps provide meals and hope for neighbors facing hunger: bit.ly/4hrZTts

Walmart is investing in the Feeding America network to help end hunger and rescue more good food! The Retail Agency Capacity Grants are part of Walmart’s ongoing promise to help food banks and partner agencies do even more for neighbors. These grants are all about making it easier to rescue good food—fresh, frozen, and shelf-stable—from grocery stores and getting it into the hands of people who need it most. With this funding, food banks and their partners can reach more neighbors facing hunger by securing equipment like refrigerated trucks, coolers, scales, and forklifts. The grants also help pay for essential resources like staff, technology, and training, all so we can make a difference together. #FoodRescue #walmartgrant

In a new Fast Company op-ed, our CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, and C.D Glin, President of the PepsiCo Foundation, explore how ending childhood hunger is not only a moral imperative—it’s a business one. Together, we’re calling on leaders across industries to recognize that investing in nutrition is investing in the next generation of thinkers, creators, and changemakers.
