(Wisconsin Radio Network) Governor Tony Evers says $10 million in state budget funding will help alleviate food insecurity in Wisconsin.

According to the Wisconsin Radio Network, during a Monday stop at the Community Partners Campus in Wausau, Evers said it’s an issue that was highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic, calling food security “extraordinarily important.”

Evers, who signed the 2025-27 state budget last week, said the $10 million “is not enough, but it’s a start.” The Democratic governor also praised the format of the Community Partners Campus, which brings programs for medical care and food security under one roof.

Evers also made stops in Milwaukee and Eau Claire on Monday to highlight budget provisions.
