"When the federal government threatened to cut SNAP benefits, 1.4 million North Carolinians had to prepare to put food on their tables without this critical assistance," said Attorney General Jeff Jackson. "The work that Roxann and her team at Mother Hubbard's Cupboard did to provide meals during this time was a lifeline for many folks in eastern North Carolina."

Roxann Lansdowne is executive director of Mother Hubbard's Cupboard.
