Support a White House Conference on Food, Nutrition, Hunger, and Health

Faith Leader Sign-on Letter Urging the White House to convene a conference on Food, Nutrition, Hunger and Health

On October 26, 2021, U.S. Senators Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Mike Braun (R-IN) and U.S. Representatives James P. McGovern (D-MA) and Jackie Walorski (R-IN) introduced S. 3064/ H.R. 5724 ~ a bipartisan, bicameral bill that would convene a second national White House conference on food, nutrition, hunger, and health. The first such conference occurred just over 50 years ago, culminating in the creation and expansion of programs such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), and the School Breakfast Program and the National School Lunch Program.

Bread for the World and a diverse coalition of interfaith partners invite faith leaders from all parts of the United States to sign this letter of support and help us connect with others that will sign the letter as well.
