Today,
@USDA_ERS
released its annual report, "Household Food Security in the United States in 2023," showing 1 in 5 children live in food insecure households.
This trend is going the wrong direction. Nearly 14 million kids now face hunger.

Sometimes, even hungry kids avoid free breakfast in the cafeteria because they don't want to be labeled the "poor kid." When every student eats breakfast as part of the regular school day, hungry kids don’t feel singled out.

One of the most direct ways to feed hungry kids is to ensure their families have the resources they need for food. The

@realDonaldTrump
It's a big loss though for the thousands of kids who could lose access to free or reduce-priced school meals. If this get signed into law, it could be devastating to hardworking families and kids and would be a step backwards in the fight to end hunger.
