Urge Congress to Strengthen Child Nutrition Programs

The Situation: 1 in 5 kids in the United States faces hunger, exposing them to increased learning difficulties, increased school absenteeism and poorer general health.

Our Response: Next year, Congress has an important opportunity to strengthen child nutrition programs, especially programs that target children when they are out of school and harder to reach. Feeding America and child hunger advocates are urging Congress to give states flexibility in how they operate summer, after-school, and weekend programs to better reach hungry kids.

Your Impact: Join Feeding America and help us urge Congress to strengthen child nutrition programs. By raising your voice - and sharing your pledge with others - you’ll join thousands of anti-hunger advocates working to carry our message of a hunger-free America to elected officials across the country. Together, we can solve hunger.
