Friend,
Today, Hunger Free America CEO Joel Berg and several of our Food Action Board members are at the White House, participating in the Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health. This is the first time in over 50 years that such a conference is happening, and not only are we thrilled to be participating, we're particularly gratified that several of our recommendations have been adopted by the White House in their hunger strategy plan ([link removed]) !

** HFA Leading the Way
------------------------------------------------------------
Earlier this year, we released our recommendations ([link removed]) for the conference. We are thrilled to see so many of our suggestions included in the White House proposal, including:
* Permanently extending the Child Tax Credit
* Raising the minimum wage
* Increasing access to childcare and safe, accessible housing
* Fully engaging virtually every domestic federal agency in concrete, meaningful, systematic efforts to fight hunger and boost nutrition
* Making it easier to access benefits online
You can read our full list of recommendations HERE ([link removed]) .
** Support Our Important Work
------------------------------------------------------------
So much of our work depends on support from our generous donors. Your contribution will assist us in printing outreach materials, distributing resources to those in need, connecting families with vital food benefits, and so much more!
