Recent budget cuts under the Trump administration left approximately 770,000 children without vital food assistance, and that number is expected to rise, according to First Focus on Children.

In response, advocates are petitioning Congress to intervene. These organisations are demanding immediate legislative action to halt impending cost shifts, which they argue threaten to dismantle the food security net.
