    Oct 28 2025
    Tory Lowe sits down with Matt Steenstra, Director of Advocacy and Community Engagement for Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin, to break down the looming delay in SNAP/FoodShare benefits and what it means for Milwaukee families heading into November — a month where need is already high due to Thanksgiving. Matt explains why benefits are being delayed, what families can do right now to stretch resources, and how feeding programs, schools, and local food pantries are bracing for the surge in demand. We also talk about the dangers of fear-mongering and misinformation circulating on social media, especially rumors about EBT cards being shut off or wiped clean. Matt offers clear steps for families to stay informed, protect their benefits, and find local resources — along with how volunteers and donors can help support pantries before they run out of food. A crucial and timely conversation about community, preparation, and resilience during a potential hunger emergency.
