Congress is considering drastic changes to federal child nutrition program rules in order to cut $9 billion in meals to school children -- part of partisan legislation making sweeping cuts to federal spending for the next decade, with the potential to cripple nutrition programs like SNAP, education funding, local ag programs, and more.
This includes measures to undercut the Community Eligibility Provision, which has been in place since 2010 to successfully help low-income school meal programs focus on feeding kids, not on red tape. The proposed changes would also put more burdensome paperwork on parents and families, educators, and school nutrition professionals. The farm to school movement believes the school cafeteria should be a welcoming, educational experience for all kids that benefits them now and prepares them for a healthy future. Let your legislators know that measures like these proposed cuts have no place if we are to make progress toward that vision.
