We are excited to hear President Biden announce the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health planned for September. We will continue to support this effort to ensure that everyone in our communities can access the nutritious food they need.

The Global Malnutrition Prevention and Treatment Act just passed the House by a vote of 384-44!!! The bill will make existing U.S. global nutrition efforts more effective and will help to mitigate and prevent future hunger and malnutrition crises.

Thanks to @RepTrey for meeting with our Indiana group yesterday as part of #HungerPC22! We appreciate your time!
