Posted on April 29, 2020April 29, 2020

Hunger & Coronavirus Crisis

What is the federal government doing?

Congress passed the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, which provides several rule waivers to make it easier for schools, local government and community organizations to feed children and receive federal reimbursements. The act also provides additional funding for WIC and some flexibility in SNAP provisions.

In this rapidly changing environment, programs should stay in touch with their point of contact at the NJ Department of Agriculture.

FRAC’s COVID-19 Updates

Stay abreast of the latest developments at the federal level with FRAC’s COVOID-19 page. You can also take action here to urge Congress to take more steps to protect people from hunger and provide other assistance during this crisis. Plus, there are links to tons of resources.
