This Thanksgiving Help End Childhood Hunger

A recent report by the USDA found that 1 in 4 children in America are now on the brink of hunger. This is a sad and sobering statistic to think that in the "land of opportunity" any child would go hungry, let alone more than 16.7 million. Experts fear these numbers will only rise as unemployment continues to rise.

Act now to send a letter to your Senator telling them to support new legislation that will help combat childhood hunger.

    This Thanksgiving End Childhood Hunger
    Dear Friend,

    I thought that you would be interested to know that last week, the U.S. Department of Agriculture released a study on hunger in America. The study highlighted an alarming statistic: 1 in 4 children in our nation are now on the brink of hunger. That's the highest number since the USDA started keeping track.

    Thankfully, legislation was recently introduced to help address this crisis. The Access to Nutritious Meals for Young Children Act would give millions more children across America access to healthy foods.

    Please take a moment to tell your Senator to support the Access to Nutritious Meals for Young Children Act today. Thank you!

    Tell your Senator to support the Access to Nutritious Meals for Young Children Act of 2009 (S.2749)

    I am writing to you today because I am concerned about the new study released by the USDA on hunger in America last week. The study highlighted an alarming statistic: that 1 in 4 children in our nation are now on the brink of hunger. That's the highest ratio since the USDA started keeping record in 1995.

    For a nation that calls itself the land of opportunity, this is an appalling realization. Thankfully, legislation was recently introduced to help address this crisis. The Access to Nutritious Meals for Young Children Act would give millions more children across America access to healthy foods.

    I urge you to support the Access to Nutritious Meals for Young Children Act today.
     
    Thank you.

    Happy Thanksgiving!”
