Election Day is almost here... and your members of Congress are paying attention to you!

Now’s the time to get child hunger on their agenda, ensuring that the world’s hungriest and most vulnerable children aren’t forgotten.

The U.S. Congress has a chance to reach 1 million more hungry children each day with a healthy school meal. Tell your members of Congress that you need to know where they stand on this issue before you cast your vote.

We have an opportunity to change the lives of 1 million hungry children by expanding the successful McGovern-Dole International School Meals Program.

Through the McGovern-Dole program, hungry children are provided with a healthy meal at school each day, giving them the sustenance they need to learn and stay in school.

When children stay in school, they have an opportunity for a brighter future. The McGovern-Dole Program helps increase the enrollment of girls, and research shows that when a girl receives an education, her children are more likely to be healthy.

With the election coming up November 2, members of Congress are listening more closely than ever to what their constituents care about.

Tell your members that you want 1 million more hungry children around the world to receive a school meal!

Thanks for taking action,

Rick
