In collaboration with HealthBegins and Benefits Data Trust, we are thrilled to announce the launch of the Medicaid Food Security Network (MFSN), a national forum of healthcare and food security stakeholders dedicated to mobilizing Medicaid systems to address food and nutrition insecurity in children and families. With an emphasis on closing the enrollment gap in #SNAP and #WIC, the Network aims to build upon the momentum of the Food is Medicine movement by elevating opportunities to center children and families in healthcare-based nutrition interventions. As one of the Network’s first initiatives, Share Our Strength is funding four state-based organizations to play a critical role in supporting the implementation of food-security policy initiatives within their state Medicaid programs. The four grantees are: 1. FEDERATION OF VIRGINIA FOOD BANKS 2. Food Bank Council of Michigan 3. Oklahoma Policy Institute 4. Voices for Georgia's Children Learn more at: bit.ly/449W6u1
