Yesterday USDA canceled the fresh food program, which provides emergency food assistance. The impact to Montana will be devastating. Helena Food Share alone will lose 66,000 pounds of poultry, eggs, fruit, milk and other nutrient dense foods. People—most of whom have jobs (sometimes multiple jobs) who are doing their absolute best to take care of their families—rely on this food. Their children—who didn’t choose their parents and who need nutritious food to do well in school and grow into healthy productive adults—rely on this food. What are you going to do about this? Let me end by quoting Matthew 25:31-40. “When the Son of Man comes in his glory…he will separate the people… He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you are blessed by my Father…. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat…whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.”
