1 in 6 people in America may not know where their next meal will come from.

That number includes children who risk falling behind in school if they can't concentrate because of hunger. It includes parents struggling to keep food on the table after losing a job. People just like you are struggling with hunger in communities just like yours, and they need help.

But Congress doesn’t get it. And they don’t seem interested in finding a solution. We need to wake them up.

The best way to help legislators understand the scope of hunger in America is to see it for themselves. Our goal is to have every member of Congress visit a food bank in 2014, and we need your help to make that happen. 

It’s time for Congress to get a glimpse of reality. Tell your member of Congress to visit their local food bank, and see for themselves what a critical role anti-hunger programs play in your community and beyond.

Please act today to send a message to your members of Congress to ask them to schedule a visit to a food bank in 2014.
