The federal government is currently shut down. The longer the shutdown lasts, the bigger the impact on hungry families. It is important to stay up-to-date with the latest information regarding FoodShare.

Participants can find the latest news and program updates on the Wisconsin Department of Health Service’s news page HERE.

If you participate in FoodShare, you may receive updates when you login to MyACCESS where you manage your case. Click HERE to visit MyACCESS.

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) is working closely with Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin, other partners, and the public to make sure the most up-to-date information is provided to partners and FoodShare participants.

FoodShare members are encouraged to:

• Stretch their benefits if they are able.
• Make sure their contact information is up to date with the State of Wisconsin.
• Visit the DHS FoodShare news page HERE for the most up-to-date information on the government shutdown and the FoodShare program.

We will continue to provide additional updates as they become available.
