Take Action: Urge Senators to Co-sponsor the Bi-Partisan Summer Meals Act of 2014
Yesterday, Senators Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) introduced the Summer Meals Act, S. 2527. It is a bipartisan bill that will enhance efforts to expand the reach of the Summer Food Program to low-income children and significantly simplify the administration of the program for sponsors.
Rep. Don Young (R-AK) and Rep. Rick Larsen (D-WA) will be leading the effort in the House of Representatives. We will send you more information about that legislation once it’s introduced.
Action Needed: Contact your Senators and urge them to cosponsor Senators Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and Lisa Murkowski’s (R-AK) Summer Meals Act (S.2527). This legislation would expand access to the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) for low-income children and simplify administration of the program for SFSP sponsors.
