The Hill, February 15, 2016: (Op-Ed) Hungry children can’t wait
“Congress created the summer meals program forty years ago to ensure our children would not go hungry during the summer months. However, the program hasn’t been updated since its creation – leaving many communities across the country with this promise still largely unfulfilled. In its existing form, thirty percent of low-income children live in communities that are foreclosed from the program. This leaves five out of six low-income children in America without the food they need during the summer months.”
