## Resource

The USDA’s new rule could slam the door on food aid for undocumented folks — and Nebraska’s food banks are scrambling to comply. With 10% of their food coming from federal funds, groups like the Food Bank of Lincoln warn this change, requiring full names and signatures, might scare off vulnerable families. Already distributing tons of food last year, they fear access will shrink — forcing a tough choice between program rules and real human need.
