| Child
Nutrition Reauthorization |
|
In
September, the 2004 Child Nutrition Reauthorization is set to expire.
This Act authorizes successful, cost-effective child nutrition programs
which play a critical role in helping children, especially in low-income
families, achieve access, meal quality and nutrition in child care,
in school, and during out-of-school times.
In
May, President Obama released details of his fiscal year 2010 federal
budget proposal. This proposal includes an additional $1 billion
for new investments in child nutrition programs in fiscal year 2010.
Second Harvest’s national office Feeding America, along with
other members of the Child Nutrition Forum, applaud this but believes
an additional $4 billion per year over five years is needed to fulfill
the President’s pledge of ending child hunger by 2015.
We
encourage your organization to join Second Harvest Foodbank, Feeding
America and thousands of other groups in support of the CNF’s
Statement of Principles for the Child Nutrition Reauthorization.
