On October 8, 2025, Congressman Gabe Amo (D-RI) introduced the CARE for WIC During Shutdowns Act in Central Falls, aimed at ensuring federal funding for the WIC program remains intact during government shutdowns. The legislation seeks to reimburse states for any WIC funding shortfalls resulting from such shutdowns, allowing continued assistance for nearly 7 million vulnerable individuals.

Amo emphasized, “Children and expectant or postpartum mothers need to eat whether or not Congressional Republicans choose to help,” reflecting the urgency of maintaining nutrition assistance. The act is co-sponsored by 49 colleagues to guarantee support for moms and children even amid political conflicts.
