State Budget Workshops
This spring, Hunger Task Force and Hunger Relief Federation will host a series of advocacy workshops across Wisconsin.
The first series of workshops are related to Wisconsin’s state budget. Wisconsin’s state budget will impact hunger for 400,000 families. This spring we have a chance to make sure our government protects hungry families, but we have to make our voice heard.
What training is offered?
- A detailed look at the budget process and how it impacts hunger.
- Advocacy tools to make the biggest impact
- We will give attendees the best-practices for stating your case, work on composing their personal story, and provide sample talking points.
Who are we asking to attend?
- Anyone who is interested in ending hunger.
Here’s what’s at stake in this year’s budget:
- FoodShare is Wisconsin’s largest anti-hunger program. The State Budget will dramatically impact how the FoodShare program operates and significantly impact funding for the FoodShare Employment & Training (FSET) program.
- School Breakfast Program: School Breakfast allows all children to start the school day ready to learn. Wisconsin should fully fund the School Breakfast Program. We have a new Governor who has been supportive of this request.
