Urgent: Tell Congress to Get to Work on Child Hunger!

Feeding America has a simple vision: a hunger-free 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. Thankfully, today you can do something about it.

Congress must act to strengthen child nutrition programs, especially programs that target children during the summer months when they away from school and are harder to reach. But time is running out—the current child nutrition bill expires September 30, 2015.

We need your help to convince Congress that it's time to get to work and help us end child hunger in this country. Please raise your voice—right now—as Congress debates new funding levels, ways to strengthen programs and new policies to make sure our children have 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 summer draws to close and children prepare to go back to 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 strengthen 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]
