This week Congress released an end-of-year spending bill, which will fund the government through next September and help millions of children have better access to healthy food during the summer months. We need your help to ensure Congress votes on this legislation this week, before they head home for the holidays.
Personalizing your letter below will go further. To make your message more effective, please share why it's important to you to feed kids and families in need.
Prioritize support for kids and families before the end of the year
Dear [Decision Maker],
Before you break for the holidays, kids need you to act on the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023. This omnibus bill will help millions of children have better access to the nutrition they need during the summer months. 6 out of every 7 children who participate in free or reduced-price school meals are unable to access the summer meal program, putting them at risk of hunger. I urge you to support the omnibus and to ensure two key provisions make it across the finish line: a permanent nationwide Summer EBT program and non-congregate meal options for kids.
Sincerely,[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State ZIP][Your Email]
