Ask Congress to Pass Child Nutrition Reauthorization This Year!

In a significant effort to move towards President Obama's (and New Jersey AntiHunger Coalition's) goal of ending childhood hunger by 2015, Congress needs to pass a strong Child Nutrition Reauthorization (CNR) bill this year. The House bill, "Improving Nutrition for America's Children Act" (HR 5504), provides critical support for low-income children by improving their access to healthy food in school, at after school and child care programs, and during the summer.
Your Voice is needed on this issue! Please participate in a nationwide "Call-in to Congress and the White House" during the next two weeks before Congress adjourns for summer recess in August. Urge your members of Congress and President Obama to pass a robust CNR bill before the end of the 111th Congress.
CALL TOLL-FREE: 1-866-277-7617 to connect to your Representatives and Senators and to reach the White House.
