Ranking Member Bobby Scott on the Importance of Anti-Hunger Initiatives

Feeding hungry children is not only a moral imperative, but also an imperative for the health and security of our nation. The health of our children should be a top national priority. For over forty years, child nutrition programs like SNAP and WIC have helped families who have struggled with the choices of putting food on the table or paying a bill. Congress must work to expand access to nutritious meals, and to end the child hunger crisis facing too many communities across the country.
