Podcasts about foodshare

Food insecurity continues to dominate headlines both in local and national news spheres. And with good reason. In Wisconsin, over 700,000 people rely on FoodShare benefits to feed themselves and their families. In Dane County, that number is more than 65,000 and growing. Today, local food pantries are navigating uncertain territory between conflicting directions from the federal government and increased need from local residents. Host Bianca Martin dives into the issue with Ellen Carlson, Wayforward Resources executive director. Want to give help to people in need or get help for yourself? There are resources available.

It's Friday and the weekend, starts here. It seems as if the president is tired of trying to convince the people that prices are coming down as he declared his point with some real "dad energy". In breaking news, Wisconsin's FoodShare program is fully up and running according to Governor Tony Evers. Then, every Friday we're joined by Civic Media's Political Editor Dan Shafer to recombobulate all the news from the week and we're discussing Tuesday's elections and what it could mean for Wisconsin going into the 2026 campaign season. And The White House is asking the courts to allow them to not help people, even though, they were told (by the courts), to help people.

We pride ourselves on our ability to cover a lot of ground within the confines of this podcast, and this episode might have pushed those skills to new heights as we went from Thanksgiving to food assistance to more secrets from Milwaukee's dining scene and beyond.The Journal Sentinel's excellent dining critic Rachel Bernhard thoughtfully gathered information about restaurants offering free assistance to SNAP recipients (the program is called FoodShare in Wisconsin) and then added a few more programs/events in her weekly newsletter. We highlight a few things, but please use those links to see all the ways you can give help or get help.In a much less critical part of this episode, we talk about five places where you can get a humanely raised turkey for your holiday meal. Top billing goes to Riemer Family Farm down in Brodhead, which is already sold out of their small whole turkeys but still has medium and large options available. Other nods go to local spots like Bavette La Boucherie and Becher Meats in West Allis, and the full list is available at Milwaukee Magazine.Also at the magazine, Ann put together a hush-hush collection of hidden restaurants around the area. The coolest one for my money is Azteca Bakery, which peddles items like Mexican pan dulce and richly delicious chocoflan from inside … the Piggly Wiggly on Oklahoma Avenue. She's got three other options along those lines, all of which you can learn more about in her Milwaukee Magazine article.If two lists aren't enough, you're in luck. Going back to the upcoming holiday, Ann jumped to the end of the meal (or the beginning if you're a nonconformist) to give you 10 places that'll hook you up with the perfect pie for your Thanksgiving feast. Finally, with the weather turning, that means it's time for Barnacle Bud's to turn into Gene's Supper Club. The flip happened earlier this week, but it looks like the temperature will dip in a big way starting this weekend, giving you all the more reason to visit the extended pop-up between now and Feb. 14.Stay warm, inside and out, as we move into the chilly season, and please find a way to help your community during this tough time. Even if our politicians get their act together, fighting hunger requires more than what our government gives. So give what you can. Thanks.#####This Bites is sponsored by Whiskey Brown's Whiskey-Spiked Cookies.

As the federal government shutdown continues, Milwaukee food pantries are seeing a growing need from people whose FoodShare benefits have been cut off.

The construction in Milwaukee County has begun, God help us all. If you want a great app to help with your drive, click here. By order of a judge, the White House has said they will partially fund SNAP and if you partake in Wisconsin's FoodShare program, you will not see your funds immediately. Our friend and Civic Media Host Pat Kreitlow stops by every other week to give his unique spin on the news and today, we're discussing the CBS interview with the president and what it looks like when reporters aren't reporting, as well as how the topic of healthcare is simple, when you know the right people.

As the federal government shutdown drags on, the uncertainty around FoodShare funding is rippling through Wisconsin’s grocery aisles. The Trump administration announced plans to partially fund SNAP benefits after payments were delayed on Nov. 1, but the impact is already being felt across the food supply chain. Mike Semmann, president and CEO of the Wisconsin Grocers Association, joins us to explain how the disruption to FoodShare affects local grocers and the supply chain. Wisconsin’s grocery community is adapting in real time and urging Washington to bring stability back to the system.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hosts: Rob Chappell, Stephanie Díaz de León, Omar Waheed Guest: Prenicia Clifton Episode Overview This week, the team covers the end of SNAP benefits and its impact on Wisconsin families and small businesses, the return of Madison Nonprofit Day, the growing threat of media capture, and a few lighter conversations to close the show — including conspiracy theories they wish were true. SNAP Benefits Ending Nearly 700,000 Wisconsinites are about to lose Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits as of November 1. Rob, Stephanie, and Omar discuss what this means for food pantries, families, and local economies. They also highlight that federal workers are unpaid during the shutdown and that the ripple effects extend to small businesses and farmers. LOUD's New Gallery Space Omar talks with Oscar Morales, founder of Latinos Organizing for Understanding and Development (LOUD), about opening a new gallery at Next Wave Studios on Madison's east side. The first artist in residence, La Pistola from Oaxaca, led workshops and connected with Madison's growing arts scene. Media Capture and the Importance of Local News Rob discusses a recent episode of the Question Everything podcast, focusing on "media capture" — when governments or their allies take control of the media. Starting November 1, every donation to Madison365 will be doubled through the Institute for Nonprofit News' matching fund.

She explains that it's a professional development opportunity for nonprofit professionals, board members, and community leaders — with sessions on funding, collaboration, safety, and leadership transitions. "Professional development is often the last thing invested in," Clifton says. "But we need to develop ourselves to serve our communities safely and effectively." Highlights include: Opening panel with Angela Davis (Madison Community Foundation), Angela Russell (TruStage), Renée Moe (United Way of Dane County), and Shiva Bidar-Sielaff (UW Health) Workshops on fundraising, partnership, and succession planning Clifton's keynote on preventing abuse in youth-serving spaces Social Impact Happy Hour recognizing local changemakers

The state is a couple days away from losing its FoodShare program due to the shutdown and it looks like our federal and state leaders feel this isn't a big deal (or not their fault). Next, two GOP candidates were spotted at a GOP dinner, listening to a GOP big wig, who was pardoned by the president and felt the 2020 was a lie. Amy Barrileaux is the Communications Director for Clean Wisconsin and she joins us to talk about the rise of Data Centers and what people need to know before they come into their municipalities and just how many are in the state and across the country. We also discuss various communities who have voiced their concerns over this matter and why speaking up, matters.

Transportation of this fall's harvest faces some new challenges with market reconfiguration. Ben Jarboe talks with Dean Beaver, grain merchandiser in southern Wisconsin, who says the international market glitches have changed the prices available to farmers. That means that some are opting to store on farm, or in off-farm storage. Beaver sales available capacity is going to be tight. He also says monitoring water levels on the Mississippi is important, and watching basis price opportunities also plays a role.A little rain in this week's forecast, but temperatures will stay above average. Stu Muck spells out what he thinks we'll be working with.Approximately 40 million people could be facing food insecurity by the end of the week if Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits go away. In Wisconsin that program's called FoodShare. It too will end on 10/31. The Wisconsin Farmers Union, in cooperation with National Farmers Union and Farmers Union Enterprises, donated 35,000 pounds of pork to the Eastern Wisconsin Food Pantry in Appleton last week. Darren VonRuden, WFU President, tells Kiley Allan why they want to focus attention on the precarious situation many households face without this program.With USDA Farm Service Agency offices open, dairy producers might want to consider signing up for the relatively new Dairy Beef Risk Insurance program.

Dave Letele is perhaps best known as a former professional boxer 'Brown Buttabean', but his story is so much larger than that.   It's been filled with highs and lows, from early sporting success to the failure of his supermarket business in Australia where he lost everything, including his family, and returned to New Zealand with only the clothes on his back, weighing in at over 200 kgs.  He turned to prize fighting to earn money and get fit, lost over 100kgs and shared his journey on social media. The public response to his efforts built up the movement that became Buttabean Motivation or BBM.  For the last decade, he's worked tirelessly to create opportunities for people. He has set up free gyms in West and South Auckland, and Tokoroa, a community kitchen, a social supermarket in Tokoroa, and a Foodshare which regularly feeds thousands of people.   In this episode we cover it all, in great detail – and it's a blockbuster. He's a man making a huge difference in Kiwi communities and we're so thrilled to share his story.  We're also thrilled to announce Dave has joined us at B2B Speakers, our business that brings our guests to your events.
