Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
On this Valentine Day
I was gifted the flu.
Sad I was to miss the party.
I’m sure my treat bag is quite hearty.
It sure would be dandy
If you didn’t eat my candy.
(Doug, I’m talking to you)
The end.

Feeding Pennsylvania applauds Governor Shapiro’s investment in Pennsylvania’s anti-hunger programs. At a time when hunger is rising—up twenty-five percent in Pennsylvania— these investments signal a commitment to the more than one and a half million Pennsylvanians facing food insecurity. Higher costs of necessities like food, energy, and housing, supply chain disruptions, and an uncertain future of federal nutrition programs all contribute to increased demand at our food banks.
