- What needs to happen next?

We're seeing some very encouraging headlines about vaccinations, about possible therapies but we're months away from that, Erin.

- Right, yeah, I mean, I think that as far as the hunger crisis goes, I think President Biden has smartly taken the action that he has the authority to do under executive action.

He's also put some recommendations back to Congress, which are ones that we really endorse but at Project Bread, our focus is making sure everyone who is hungry knows about all of these different programs.

There's a lot of programs out there.

There's Snap, as you mentioned, there's Pandemic EBT, which is for school kids.

There's WIC.

If you're the person who's food insecure, it can be a little overwhelming.

And so that's where we come in.

We really try to help people connect to these programs.

And the reality is there's a lot of people who are food insecure right now, who still aren't signed up for Snap.

We know that from our work in health centers.

So that's where we're so grateful that President Biden has taken these actions but our work continues.

We need to get as many people signed up for these programs so that they can, they can see the increases that he's recommended going forward.
