Taking Action on Child Nutrition Reauthorization

by Kimberley Chin, Director, Maryland Hunger Solutions

With Child Nutrition Reauthorization coming up, we need to impress upon Congress the importance of making hunger a top priority and simply providing meals to people who are hungry. In addition to talking about these nutrition programs with your community to make sure that everyone eligible participates, it is now also your duty to talk to those who make decisions and let them know how important it is to ensure that the people living in this country do not go to bed hungry.

Take action now: individuals can write letters to Maryland's Congressional representatives, and organizations can sign onto the Statement of Principles for Child Nutrition Reauthorization at the Food Research and Action Center's (FRAC) Web site.
