We have learned that Catholic Relief Services just received formal notification that the Trump administration has terminated all but two of Catholic Relief Services’ McGovern-Dole Food for Education school feeding programs. These programs provide daily meals for nearly 800,000 children in 11 countries.
Funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, CRS partners with governments and communities to sustain school meal programs and strengthen a child’s education. These programs not only nourish students, but they also stabilize families and communities. Meanwhile, award terminations within USDA’s Food for Progress programs further threaten food security and economic stability in vulnerable communities.
Please email your members of Congress, asking them to urge the administration to reverse these terminations and continue providing lifesaving and life-affirming food aid.
