Wisconsin Local Food Purchase Assistance (WI LFPA) Program
TELL THE GOVERNOR AND YOUR LEGISLATORS TO FUND THE WISCONSIN LOCAL FOOD ASSISTANCE PROGRAM IN THE 2025-2027 STATE BUDGET!
​
As advocates for local agriculture and food security, join us in a united effort to support Wisconsin’s farmers and underserved communities.
The WI LFPA Program has been a game-changer in connecting local farmers with food access partners to distribute fresh, nutritious food across the state. However, to ensure this program continues to thrive, we need your voice to help secure state funding.
​
Using the portal below, we invite you to sign on to a pre-written letter (or write your own) that advocates for continued funding for WI LFPA. Your letter will be sent directly to the Governor's Office and your legislators.
