Democratic state lawmakers are working on bills they’re calling the “Keep Wisconsin Fed” package.
They say it will protect food access if there is another federal government shutdown. Lawmakers want the bills to protect and expand access to food for Wisconsinites. Democrats say they don’t want more uncertainty about Wisconsin’s FoodShare program. The bills would match Farm to School grants and would also create a new program that would give grants to food banks so they can purchase locally grown food from farmers.
