ALERT: Please help kids and families at risk of losing much-needed food! >>
Dear Jack, I need your help—
Our country is still reeling from an unprecedented hunger crisis. Even as COVID rates decrease and cities open back up, millions of people – including children – don’t have enough to eat.
This summer alone, more than 18 million children in America won’t have enough to eat. Some of them are in your neighborhood. And it’s about to get worse if Congress fails to act. Vital programs that help put food into the hands of families that need it are about to expire.
We need your help to ask lawmakers to come through for America’s children. No child should go without the food they need to grow, learn, and play. Sign Feeding America's petition today.

Hunger has a devastating, lifelong impact on children. Without enough to eat, they fall behind in school, are more likely to get sick, and have trouble socially.
And what’s more, we know how to help end child hunger: helping families fill in the loss of school meals with Summer EBT, continuing the expanded Child Tax Credit benefit, and increasing Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits to match the true cost of feeding a family.
Congress is at a crossroad: in the coming days they will consider bills that could impact millions of children. We need them to prioritize feeding children in America.
This is a crucial moment – just one letter to the right lawmaker at the right time could change the future for millions of kids and families.
Add your name to Feeding America's petition today. Please write to your elected officials before they make their decisions – it’ll only take you two minutes.

Thank you for joining us in the fight to end hunger for all children – all people – in this country.
