Federal nutrition programs matter
For a child who cannot rely on dinner at home, the School Breakfast Program ensures they have breakfast at school. Similarly, a working mother struggling to make ends meet can find support feeding her family through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
Ensuring program strength through advocacy
Our federal programs are only as strong as the support they receive on Capitol Hill. Feeding America works daily to protect and expand these vital programs to ensure that no one in America goes hungry.
The Farm Bill
Feeding America works to ensure the Farm Bill—the largest piece of legislation impacting the nation's agriculture policy and nutrition program—protects funding to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), strengthens The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP), and the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP), and enables vital food donations.
The Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act
Feeding America advocates for the Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act—a bill that provides federal funding for programs that help children most in need and ensures they get the nutrition to grow and learn.
Appropriations, Budget, and Taxes
Feeding America advocates for funding in programs that help people facing hunger and federal tax policies that enhance nonprofit giving tax incentives.
Federal anti-hunger programs
Feeding America identifies and advances policy solutions that help struggling families create a path to healthy, hunger-free lives.
