Take Action!
What’s Going on Right Now:
Farm to School Act of 2015!
Farm to school is a no-brainer – it’s a win-win for kids, farmers, and communities!
That’s why we’re so excited that the bipartisan team of Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Senator Thad Cochran (R-MS), Representative Jeff Fortenberry (R-NE), and Representative Marcia Fudge (D-OH) introduced the Farm to School Act of 2015! The Farm to School Act of 2015, with support from more members of Congress, will become part of the Child Nutrition Act reauthorization package later this year.
What exactly is in the bill? Lots of incredible policy changes for farm to school programs nationwide!
We need help from YOU to make sure the Farm to School Act makes it into the reauthorization of the Child Nutrition Act this fall!
YOU CAN HELP! Let’s tell everyone in Congress that they should sign on to this bipartisan bill!
- Sign your organization on to this organizational support letter!
- And endorse the Farm to School Act of 2015 as a “citizen supporter” and show your support for the positive change it can bring to schools and communities nationwide.
