Good afternoon River Forest Community Members,
The extension of the child nutrition waivers was not included in the Omnibus spending bill posted today by the Senate Appropriations Committee. If the waiver extension is not included in the final bill, the waivers will end on June 30, 2022, causing millions of children to face a hunger cliff when they lose access to summer and school meals.
These waivers have been critical in supporting nutrition operations so that children have access to school, afterschool, and summer meals throughout the pandemic, and they are still needed to help schools and families recover from and respond to the economic, health, and educational fallout.
This will massively affect K12 nutrition programs. If you have a few minutes, please reach out to Senators Braun and Young and request that the waivers be added to the Omnibus Bill. Friday is the deadline to encourage them to support the waivers as the senate votes on Friday!
