We recently commented on Governor Jeff Landry's plan to reject federal funding for summer EBT programs in this article by Joni Hess for Nola.com:
"Ellie Duff, director of Culture Aid NOLA, a non-traditional, no-questions-asked food bank established during the pandemic, said that when other pandemic-era programs ended, her group saw an increase in need.
"At the end of 2021 when the COVID tax credit ended, we saw a 20% increase in guests over the next month. We can expect to see a similar rise in numbers in the upcoming summer months due to EBT being pulled," Duff said."
To commit to feeding families this summer, make an investment in Culture Aid NOLA's work.
