Dear Mr. President,
The undersigned national, state and local organizations are writing to express our united support for
effective and adequately funded federal nutrition programs for children. We are a diverse group of
organizations representing anti-hunger, religious, education, health, medical, nutrition, direct service,
school food, pre-school and child care, after school, labor, industry, research and agriculture, that are
joining together to support increased access to nutritious meals and snacks and to protect the quality of
those meals and snacks in pre-school, school-based and out-of-school time programs in the upcoming
Child Nutrition Reauthorization.
We urge you to continue your commitment to these programs and your efforts to reduce childhood
hunger and improve child nutrition by including in your budget for FY2016 a significant investment in
these programs so their efficacy in reducing hunger and boosting the health and well-being of children
and infants can grow. Your enthusiasm for and commitment to new investments in these critically
important programs will define the agenda moving into the reauthorization of the child nutrition
programs.
We appreciate the support that you, the First Lady and your Administration have shown for protecting
and improving access to quality nutrition for children, especially low income children, in this country.
