TELL CONGRESS: Protect Kids from Hunger

 

After months of negotiations, House and Senate leaders have introduced a bill that provides the funding necessary to meet the WIC program’s needs. With this full funding, millions of WIC recipients will be protected from having their crucial benefits cut benefits that help families buy things like formula, milk and fresh produce.

But it’s not final yet. Contact your members of Congress today and urge them to quickly pass this bill to protect families and children from hunger and hardship.

Pass H.R. 4366 for millions of moms and kids

Dear [Decision Maker],



This funding bill is a win-win solution to avert a partial government shutdown that would cause chaos and confusion for millions of Americans and put WIC benefits in immediate jeopardy for nearly 7 million moms and kids under the age of five.

H.R. 4366 would prevent harm to moms and kids who could otherwise begin being waitlisted for the WIC program or have their crucial WIC benefits cut immediately. These are the benefits that help families buy things like formula, milk and fresh produce.

I urge you to pass the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2024 to avert a partial shutdown, prevent confusion and chaos for millions of Americans, and protect moms, children and families from hunger.

Sincerely,
