Please consider taking a few minutes to contact your representatives to make your opinion heard. Federal funding is essential to the well-being of millions of families across our state and country.

Below you will find SUGGESTED SCRIPTS to use and a DIRECTORY of local representatives.

Announcement Concerning Funding Freeze:

We’re pleased to share that the executive order freezing federal financial assistance has been rescinded. We believe the powerful outcry from communities across the country along with quickly filed lawsuits from the Attorney Generals of 22 states (NC’s Jeff Jackson included) brought about the cancelation of this Executive Order. The vocal support for essential programs made by people just like you made a difference!

This situation is a strong reminder of just how important advocacy is for programs that make a real impact on people’s lives. As we move forward, we encourage you to stay engaged. We’ve put together phone and email scripts to make it easy for you to reach out to your representatives and to voice your support for the continued protection of these critical services.

Together, we can help protect essential programs like CACFP!
