Keep Families Fed Act.
The Keep Families Fed Act directs $6 million in recurring state funding to six specific nonprofit food banks across North Carolina starting in the 2026-2027 fiscal year. These funds are distributed in equal amounts to each organization to help address food insecurity by supporting their existing programs. The legislation ensures that these vital food security initiatives receive guaranteed state support regardless of future annual budget decisions.
