About this Petition Pledge Petition Updates
Why This Is Important


Every five years, lawmakers work together to improve and reauthorize government-funded Child Nutrition Programs.  These programs include the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, the Commodity and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), the Summer Food Service Program, and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC).  The Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004 will soon expire, and Congress is set to begin debating funding levels for these important programs.




As a member of the committee responsible for Child Nutrition Reauthorization, your Member of Congress plays a crucial role in the outcome of this important legislation.


Now is a critical time for you to share your voice with your Member of Congress.  You can underscore the importance of addressing the nationwide problem of childhood hunger-and the role our federal government must play in funding programs to help feed our at-risk children.


We urge you to send an email to your legislator today expressing your support for a strong Child Nutrition Reauthorization bill. 


 Just visit the Hunger Action Center-we'll provide you with email addresses and a sample email, and we encourage you to personalize the message as much as you can.  Letting your voice be heard has never been easier!


Thanks for taking action!
