With 1 in 4 kids at risk of hunger and 1 in 3 obese or overweight, our children cannot afford to wait another year for Congress to pass the child nutrition bill. Learn what you can do to help get this important legislation passed now!
- Hear directly from Secretary Vilsack about how the child nutrition bill can make real progress against childhood hunger and childhood obesity - and get an update about the annual hunger statistics released earlier that day.
- Tom Colicchi will explain why this issue is so personal for him and why it's important for each of us to be an advocate for better child nutrition.
- Vicki Escarra will describe how you can get engaged right now and add your voice in support of the child nutrtion bill before it's too late.
Register now: Be sure to have your questions ready. You'll have an opportunity to interact directly with the speakers during the question and answer session! Let's show Secretary Vilsack that advocates in his home state support him in making progress in ending childhood hunger and obesity.
