The most exciting piece for me is that there is a commitment by all of the interested parties in Massachusetts to work together – to break down silos and see separate initiatives as part of a broader and organized effort to end hunger by 2030. There are a number of promising initiatives in place thanks to the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health. The USDA’s Summer EBT (Electronic Benefit Transfer) program ensures that children who depend on free or reduced-price school meals continue to receive nutritious meals during the summer, while the non-congregate meal service reaches children in rural areas that do not have access to traditional summer meal programs. Existing programs, like SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as “food stamps”) and WIC (Women, Infants, and Children), have expanded outreach to reach more people who may be eligible for these benefits, and have put resources toward improving program delivery. For Massachusetts in particular, CMS (Centers for Medicare u0026amp; Medicaid Services) has also allowed MassHealth to expand nutrition services, including medically tailored meals, to food insecure populations and individuals with conditions that require special diets. It’s exciting to see the efforts being made across the country to end hunger, and I will continue to do all I can to support our work here in the Commonwealth.
