CHARLOTTE, NC—Today, Congresswoman Alma S. Adams, Ph.D. (NC-12), senior member of the House Agriculture Committee, held her fourth quarterly Adams Hunger Initiative (AHI) of 2025, bringing together 24 leaders in nutrition, hunger, farming, and food security throughout Charlotte-Mecklenburg.
In the 4th quarter Adams Hunger Initiative, participants discussed the state of hunger in the region, the impact of the government shutdown on their operations, and how they are working to keep the community fed during the holiday season and into 2026.
“When the federal government failed our community during the government shutdown, our feeding organizations and agriculture producers stepped up to ensure Charlotte-Mecklenburg families could put food on the table,” said Congresswoman Adams. “I’m proud to partner with these impactful groups through the Adams Hunger Initiative because of their dedication and service to our community. As food security programs face new attacks in 2026, from reduced funding to stripping away people’s access to benefits, I’m committed to supporting these organizations because they have always supported us.”
