State Budget Workshops

About Hunger

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.
