Our Key Issues
Kids can’t thrive on empty stomachs.
We’re breaking the silence on child hunger.
Nutritious food is a necessity — not a luxury. SCAN is leading the fight to end child hunger by building relationships with lawmakers, activating our network of grassroots advocates and supporting sustainable solutions for the world’s hardest-to-reach communities.
Tell Congress to Build a Better Farm Bill
Conflict, extreme weather and economic instability are pushing communities closer to famine — but stronger international food aid programs would provide lifesaving support.
Nearly 14 million kids are going hungry across the U.S. Growing bodies can’t survive and thrive like that. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is a lifeline for struggling families. Tell Congress to protect SNAP!
As they overcome the horrors of war, fight the crushing weight of poverty and escape hunger’s grip, the support they rely on is at risk. Tell Congress: Children’s lives are on the line. Step up and protect foreign assistance!
In these uncertain times, speaking up and putting kids’ needs FIRST is more critical than ever. Together, we can push for lasting change. Raise your voice today!
Volunteer with SCAN and join a community of changemakers! There are endless ways to channel your passion for helping kids: write letters to the editor, participate in local events, fundraise or meet with Congress. Don’t worry – we’ll provide the tools you need to be a powerful champion for children.

I have to give credit to SCAN’s Advocacy Summit for the ball of fire I’ve become. It pulled out a passion in me I never knew I had.
