Draft Farm Bill Proposes Cuts to Benefits Adjustments for Snap
The draft Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2024 (House Farm Bill) released on Friday by House Agriculture Committee Chair G.T.

Growing Goodness: Join Our Fight Against Hunger in North Carolina
In 1989, Jill Staton Bullard and Maxine Solomon, launched their mission to combat hunger in North Carolina. They began rescuing surplus food and distributing it to those in need and Inter-Faith Food Shuttle was born. Decades later, their legacy continues to Grow Goodness as we reach thousands of individuals with vital nourishment every week. We are also tackling the root causes of food insecurity through innovative programs that empower people to build stable and secure lives, and by advocating for policies that eliminate systemic barriers.
