10.10.2013 Join in nationwide call-in days: Wednesday-Friday, October 9-11, to urge your House Member to pass “a clean and comprehensive” Continuing Resolution (CR) for FY2014. The piecemeal approach of passing funding bills one program at a time is not an acceptable way to fund the federal government. Annually funded nutrition programs like WIC, CSFP, and TEFAP must be funded along with all other government programs that provide a safety net for all people – especially low-income people. Please join our national partners in making a call to your representatives. Use the following resources from our national partners at FRAC:
