It?s time Congress got to work to ensure our children have access to healthy and nutritious food they need to learn, grow, and thrive. We need your voice to join the thousands of advocates calling Congress today as part of the Child Nutrition Reauthorization national call-in day. Tell Congress to invest in our children and take action on a strong Child Nutrition Reauthorization.

[If you are a service provider or can speak to the need you are seeing in your community, share this info.] Too many kids in our community are not getting the food they need to learn, grow, and thrive - particularly during out of school times. I urge Congress to make new investments in the child nutrition programs, and support policies that will increase access to programs such as the Summer Food Service Program, which continues to be underutilized across our nation and state. The child programs reach tens of thousands of Montana children each day. Invest in our children with a strong CNR."

The child nutrition programs help ensure that all Montana children have access to the food and nutrition needed to stay healthy and succeed in school. CNR is our best opportunity to strengthen these programs and set policies that make them accessible to the thousands of Montana families struggling with hunger. Montana only has 10 organizations signed on - we can do better!!
