Happy 2022! To kick off the year, Joree and Sarah give listeners a run down of what 2022 has in store for the Ohio Association of Foodbanks advocacy agenda. We predict that 2022 will be a busy year on both the state and federal levels, with the continued implementation of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) at the state level, the possible end of the public health emergency, the Build Back Better Act (still!), Child Nutrition Reauthorization, preparation for the next state budget and the Farm Bill, and more. Everything feels very uncertain right now, but we are hopeful for the future. We are ready to get to work! Resources:   The Ohio Association of Foodbanks Request for ARPA Funds “Ohio foodbanks starting to go hungry,” by Marty Schladen, Ohio Capital Journal  “Supporting food banks of Ohio,” column by Senator Sherrod Brown, Wilmington News Journal Want to help spread the word? Click here to order free marketing materials, and find template social media content at getcoveredohio.org/outreach.
