New Report on Ending Childhood Hunger

From Food Research and Action Center:

The Food Research and Action Center (FRAC) just released a new report setting out seven strategies it deems essential for the nation to meet President Obama's goal of ending childhood hunger by 2015. The report, titled "Ending Childhood Hunger by 2015: The Essential Strategies for Achieving the President's Goal"(pdf).

The paper calls for the nation to:


  • Restore economic growth and create jobs with better wages for lower-income workers.
  • Raise the incomes of the lowest-income families.
  • Strengthen the SNAP/Food Stamp Program.
  • Strengthen the Child Nutrition Programs.
  • Engage the entire federal government in ending childhood hunger.
  • Work with states, localities and nonprofits to expand and improve participation in federal nutrition programs.
  • Make sure all families have convenient access to reasonably priced, healthy food.

They are distributing this analysis to members of Congress, key officials in the Obama Administration, the media, and anti-hunger leaders across the nation.

They are also launching a website, www.endingchildhunger2015.org, where they will post this analysis and the president's position paper making the 2015 commitment, and in the weeks and months ahead other analyses and materials related to achieving the 2015 goal.
