Breadwest's Podcast Breadwest

We'll talk about what we can expect when Congress reconvenes in November for a "lame duck session" and discuss effective ways you can urge decision makers to be good news for poor and hungry people at home and abroad. Key decisions will be made about child nutrition programs such as school lunch, and it's "go time" on our Offering of Letters campaign to help working families make ends meet through key tax credits.

Lots to talk about on this month's call... On the legislative side of things, we'll provide updates about cuts to the SNAP (formerly known as food stamps) program, as well as updates on child nutrition reauthorization, foreign aid reform, and our Offering of Letters campaign to help low-income families make ends meet by strengthening the Earned Income Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit. In addition, we'll do a feature on hunger-related books, and invite you to share if you've read anything good lately.
