HUNGER

Dear Elizabeth, Yesterday over 270 Save the Children advocates and students went to Capitol Hill for the 10th annual Advocacy Summit. It was a great success. Children met with their Senators and Representatives to urge them to support health and nutrition programs in the USA and around the world. While many legislative leaders strongly support the programs, we were alarmed to hear that deep cuts were being proposed to health and nutrition for some of the world’s most vulnerable children. We need YOU to tell Congress not to cut these critical, lifesaving programs that deserve strong support. The international health and nutrition accounts comprise less than half of one percent of the federal budget. Cutting these programs would do little to solve our fiscal woes, but could have dire consequences for babies, mothers and young children who depend on health and nutrition assistance. Won’t you please take a moment to send a message to Congress and tell them that you support Child Nutrition programs?
