Free meals, that meet Federal nutrition guidelines, are provided to all children 18 years old and under at approved SFSP sites in areas with significant concentrations of low-income children.

I’m proud of all of these groups that have stepped up to do what the federal government should be doing. I’m proud of everyone who is banding together to fight hunger, to join me in our attempts to End Hunger Now.

“What I love about the new part of my district is that, out here, people demonstrate how to do things right,” McGovern told a crowd of constituents gathered at Green Fields Market Saturday.
