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.
We, the under-signed, call on President-Elect Trump to champion American values and prioritize kids during their first 100 days in office!
If lawmakers don’t protect international food aid programs in the Farm Bill – our nation’s most critical set of hunger-fighting programs – millions of lives will be in grave danger. Please, tell Congress: Children need a better Farm Bill.
Tell Congress: Support a strong Farm Bill for kids during lame duck negotiations so every child has a chance to thrive!
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.
