September is Hunger Action Month!🧡 This month, communities across America are committing to fight hunger during Hunger Action Month. As the leading hunger relief organization in Arkansas, our duty is to serve hungry children, families, and seniors. In Arkansas, 1 in 6 Arkansans are food-insecure, which means they struggle to find sufficient access to nutritious food. Regarding children, 1 in 5 are facing hunger, and in some rural areas, it’s even higher. This month, we encourage you to find ways to support hunger awareness in your community. With every action, we get one step closer to making hunger a thing of the past. #AFBHungerActionMonth #HungerActionMonth

North Carolina has the 10th highest rate of food insecurity in the nation. According to the North Carolina Justice Center: "Despite the success of anti-hunger programs like SNAP, lawmakers have sought to limit access. Over the past few years, state and federal lawmakers have considered and, in some cases, passed harmful measures that have increased hunger. In 2016, state lawmakers limited access to food assistance for some of the state's poorest adults by reinstating a harsh federal law placing a three-month time limit on SNAP for nondisabled, childless adults. This change, which affected up to 100,000 people, meant that people would be denied food assistance even though they lived in communities where there were no job opportunities available. Last year, state lawmakers considered eliminating a policy that allows low-income families with high expenses to be eligible for SNAP. These families, who have modest incomes but pay significant amounts of their income toward things like child care and rent, are often forced to make tough choices about how to cover all of their living expenses. Eliminating this policy, known as categorical eligibility, would have not only prevented these families from applying for food assistance, but also would have cost the state in additional administrative dollars. Finally, both state and federal lawmakers have sought to impose harsh requirements and unfunded mandates that will punish North Carolinians who are unable to find work and impose strict administrative requirements on state and local agencies."
