Don’t cut programs that feed hungry families

Don’t cut programs that feed hungry families

The Issue

For people living on the brink, food aid is a lifesaver - literally. But if some members of Congress get their way, programs that give food to people in desperate poverty worldwide will face drastic cuts up to $500 million.

We can’t let Congress make cuts that could force millions of families to go hungry.

Congress will be finalizing the budget in just a few weeks. Write your members of Congress now, and tell them not to cut food assistance for impoverished families around the globe.
