Hunger Task Force has launched “Connecting Farms to Families,” a new initiative backed by a $2.5 million grant through the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection. The program connects Wisconsin food assistance organizations directly with small and mid-sized farmers and producers across the state.

A proposal by a House subcommittee to reduce federal funding for the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) supplemental nutrition assistance program by $200 million in the next budget year was debated in the House Appropriations Committee and approved by a vote of 35 to 25.

Decisions at both the federal and state levels are creating changes to Wisconsin’s version of the SNAP program. Data from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) shows FoodShare had a monthly average of more than 650,000 participants as of March 2026. Starting Oct. 1, Wisconsin will be required to pay 75% of the cost of running FoodShare, with the federal government covering the other 25%.
