For most, the Thanksgiving holiday revolves around FOOD - making casseroles, sharing recipes and cozying up on the couch after a full meal is shared. The truth is, it's not like that for everyone. For some, Thanksgiving brings sadness and worry about where the next meal may come from. This Thanksgiving, know what your meal is worth. For the cost of one green bean casserole ($11.50), 115 meals could be served to those in need ($1 = 10 meals). Just a little food for thought as you make your grocery lists and check it twice! #HappyThanksgiving #Thanksgiving #HappyThanksgivingFestivities #GiveThanks #feedinglouisiana #hungerrelief #hunger #foodbank #foodinsecurity #hungercrisis #fooddrive #donate #louisianahungerrelief #takeaction #hungerinlouisiana

The National School Lunch Program feeds over 30 million children each school day. There is now an option for schools to apply for Universal Free Meals, which would provide free lunch and breakfast to all students! According to the Center for Policy Research, schools that expand free lunches to all students increase academic performance and have a positive effect on attendance. Let's celebrate the National School Lunch Program and encourage our Louisiana legislators to make school meals a reality for all students.

By March 31, 2024, over 498,000 recipients – 30% of all Louisiana Medicaid enrollees – LOST ACCESS TO THEIR BENEFITS. Many were disenrolled simply for not responding to renewal requests, affecting children, seniors, and pregnant women (some of our most vulnerable neighbors) the hardest. Not responding can happen for many reasons. At Feeding Louisiana, we're committed to ensuring that our neighbors are informed and supported as we continue to advocate for accessible basic needs.
