Nutrition First members and their Executive Director traveled to Olympia twice this year to attend Have a Heart for Children and Hunger Action Day. They met with key legislators to encourage restoration of the State Food Assistance Program and the Farm to School Program, expansion of the Emergency Food Assistance Program (EFAP) which provides food to Food Banks, and focus on Dental Services and Healthcare for low income families and children, as well as revenue options to balance our budget. To learn more about each of these legislative agendas visit our partners, the Children’s Alliance and the Anti Hunger and Nutrition Coalition and learn more about we can help end childhood hunger, provide adequate health and dental care, and ensure kids come to school ready to learn.
