Kate
It's hard to imagine a more important time than right now to focus on child hunger, child nutrition programs, and school meals. Here's why: If a few key policy proposals succeed in the
12 to 18 months, we join a path to effectively end child hunger.
To understand more, watch our recent town hall with key leaders on child hunger in Washington state. I've marked key moments from each speaker below. Special thanks to Claire Lane, executive
director of the statewide Anti-Hunger & Nutrition Coalition, for leading the conversation.
