I know that we’ve asked repeatedly for your help with the school foods bill over the last few years.  Hopefully, with your help, this will be our last request and the bill will pass soon.

The landmark child nutrition legislation before Congress will help improve the nutritional quality of school lunches, get junk food out of school vending machines, and support strong nutrition and physical activity policies and practices in schools and child care settings.

Congress is finishing up work for this session and remarkably, child nutrition is at the top of the agenda.  However, there are still a number of barriers to passing the bill.

Please write your Congressional Representative today and ask them to pass the bill.  You also can help by passing this alert onto colleagues, friends and family – we need all the help we can get in this final push to pass the bill.

Thank you for your continued support of this effort to promote healthy eating for children.

All the best,
