The Budget Control Act includes an immediate cut of almost $1 trillion in government spending. Half of those cuts will come from domestic discretionary programs, potentially including programs important to anti-hunger advocates. Read more.

Blueprint to end hunger
Learn about our short- and long-term plan to end hunger
Hunger is an income issue. Many hard-working families struggle to afford basic needs such as housing, utilities and health care. Often times, food is the only flexible part of a household's budget. We advocate for policies that address the root causes of hunger in the long-term, while helping people meet their basic needs now.
