Bravery Basket Food Pantry shares real stories and local action to fight food insecurity and hunger in our communities.

This inadequate early-life nutrition has devastating long-term outcomes, disproportionately affecting households of color, and hindering health, education, and economic stability throughout their lives.

This video examines the positive lifelong impacts of federal nutrition programs, specifically the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), in providing a critical safety net for our most vulnerable population.

We also explore the urgent threat posed by proposed megabill cuts to SNAP funding, which could drastically increase poverty and food insecurity, potentially forcing states to eliminate crucial assistance.
