No child should ever go hungry in America. Yet the reality is 1 in 5 kids in the United States faces hunger, which impacts their ability to focus and learn in school. Today you can do something about it - but you need to act right now.
Children are back to school and it's time to act. Tell Congress it is critical to strengthen child nutrition programs now. Time is running out—the current child nutrition bill expires September 30, 2015.
We need your strong voice to convince Congress that it's time to help us end child hunger in this country. Please raise your voice—right now—as Congress debates funding levels, meal programs and policies that directly impact children's access to healthy, nutritious foods.
Tell Congress to pass a strong child nutrition bill by September 30, 2015. Join Feeding America and thousands of anti-hunger advocates to keep the pressure on Congress to strengthen the Child Nutrition Reauthorization. Together, we can solve child hunger. Join us and sign the petition today!
Dear [Representative],
Every child should be able to live a healthy, hunger-free life, but too many kids in this country do not have regular access to enough nutritious food. In our great nation of abundance, no child should ever go hungry. Thankfully, as a Member of Congress, you can do something about it.
As children are back in school, we must work together and act boldly to defeat hunger in our nation's future leaders. Food banks in our district and across the nation are doing their part by providing food to kids during difficult to reach times like after school, weekends, and the summer months, but they can't do it alone.
As my representative in Congress, I call on you to do your part—by passing a strong child nutrition bill that streamlines and strengthens programs - and provides additional flexibility so Food Banks can operate more efficiently and reach more children.

Nothing is more important than ensuring that all of our nation's children have access to healthy, nutritious food so they can learn and thrive in school this year. As a member of the 114th United States Congress, I ask you stand up for our nation's children and to pass a strong child nutrition bill in 2015.
Sincerely,
[Your name]
