I had a different episode planned for today, as it's Halloween. I wanted to talk about ghosts and ghouls and vampires. Instead, due to the ongoing government shutdown and SNAP funds running out, 1.4 Michiganders are scared about where their next meal will come from.

When the news is scary, Fred Rogers said "Look for the helpers," and I found some in the Fair Food Network.

My guests are Holly Parker, Chief Strategy and Program Officer, Fair Food Network and Alex Canepa, Director of Policy, Fair Food Network.

The Double Up Food Bucks program sits alongside your Bridge Card, and allows for bonus dollars for fresh fruits and vegetables.

They're also doing a temporary expansion of their program to help, how they can, get Michiganders access to more fresh produce when money is going to be tighter than ever.
