While we can all agree that feeding the hungry is a priority, we must also keep in mind that our country is almost $37 trillion in debt. This is unsustainable and hard cuts will need to be made. The funding that is being cut was covid era extra funding (due to higher than normal needs) that was always scheduled to sunset this year. Perhaps part of your discussion could be ways to support our food banks locally. Such as monetary donations to food banks, canned food drives, etc.
