Jack,

No one serving in our military should struggle to feed their family – but right now, as many as 125,000 active duty service members and their families are facing food insecurity.

This Fourth of July weekend, join Feeding America and tell your lawmakers: no member of the U.S. military should EVER struggle to put food on their family’s table. Sign here >>

I saw the problem firsthand when I served as the CEO of Feeding San Diego, a Feeding America network food bank. San Diego County has one of the largest concentrations of active duty military personnel and veterans in the world. The families stationed there do not necessarily choose where they live, but they face the reality of San Diego’s high cost-of-living regardless.

Military hunger is a sad truth, Jack, but it’s one lawmakers can change.

As a nation we owe a huge debt to the brave service members who wear our country’s uniform. We have an obligation to eliminate the ongoing worry so many of them face about how to feed their families.

We’re proud that Feeding America network food banks work tirelessly to provide service members with the access to the nutritious food they need. But military families shouldn’t need food banks – it’s that simple. By creating a Military Family Basic Needs Allowance, our lawmakers can provide them with the resources they need to put food on the table. Add your name and tell Congress to act now to help alleviate hunger among military families. >>

As we celebrate our freedoms this weekend – please take a moment to show support for our military families.

With gratitude,
