PASS THE HUNGER-FREE SUMMER FOR KIDS ACT
Dear Jack,
Congress has a critical opportunity to ensure the summer months aren’t hungry months for kids who rely on school meals – but they have to act fast! The Hunger-Free Summer for Kids Act would increase the meals available to kids in the summer. How? By meeting kids wherever they’re at with mobile feeding programs, grab-and-go options, backpack meal programs, and other flexible meal delivery models. Without those flexible programs, many children will lose access to essential meals when schools close for the summer.
Add your name today to Feeding America's petition. Urge your lawmakers to help end child hunger by passing the Hunger-Free Summer for Kids Act!
ADD YOUR NAME
The Hunger-Free Summer for Kids Act also authorizes the Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer (Summer EBT) program, which provides up to $30/month per child during the summer months to help families keep tables and bellies full.
In past pilots of the program, Summer EBT decreased child hunger by over 30%!
Tell Congress: Act NOW to pass the Hunger-Free Summer for Kids Act and provide much-needed meals while school is out for the summer! Millions of children are counting on us to take action!
