In this issue, CMFPC reflects on a season of growth as we enter Q4 and celebrate 15 years of impact. Highlights include updates on our SNAP Double Bucks program, the final month of the Senior Vouchers initiative, and upcoming events like the North Meck Night Market, the statewide Food System Gathering, and our Farm-to-Table Mixer. We also spotlight critical policy developments — from proposed cuts to school meals and SNAP-Ed to budget delays in Raleigh — and share key statistics about SNAP in North Carolina.

October 2025

This month we celebrate a leadership milestone as Piniel Tadesse steps into the role of Executive Director, shortly after her three-year anniversary with CMFPC. We also share highlights from September’s busy calendar — including the State of Black Health Conference, the Community Food Strategies Gathering, and the Three Sisters Market Farm-to-Table event. Program updates feature the success of Triple Bucks Week and our Senior Voucher program serving over 700 older adults. Finally, we spotlight the federal government shutdown and its implications for nutrition programs like SNAP and WIC.
