One in four Central Texas
children faces hunger every day. At the Capital Area Food Bank, we tackle this
issue by partnering with our federal child nutrition programs, and providing
thousands of kids with the nutritious food they need to thrive. Every five
years, Congress has the opportunity to improve these nutrition programs, and
ensure that more food reaches more kids.
NOW is the time for Congress
to get to work. Help us urge our elected officials to pass a strong child
nutrition reauthorization bill before the end of the year!
Call Congress Today!
Calling Congress is easy.
Here's how:
- Just dial
our toll free number, (888)
398-8702 and listen to the pre-recorded message.
- Enter your
zip code, then press 1 to be connected to Senator John Cornyn.
- Once you are
connected to Senator Cornyn, state that you are a constituent and give
your name and the town you are calling from.
- Let them know you are calling about Child Nutrition Reauthorization and deliver
this important message:
Time
is running out to pass a strong child nutrition bill. Too many kids in
our community are not getting the nutritious food they need, and Congress can’t
let the opportunity to improve these programs go by. These programs have a
history of strong bi-partisan support. I urge you to pass a strong child
nutrition bill this year that strengthens the programs so children have the
fuel they need to grow up healthy and succeed.
- Be sure to
dial back in so you talk to Senator Cruz as well, then to your
Representative.
