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.
Tell Congress to Protect Food for Peace – and secure brighter futures for children.
With less resources to tackle hunger, more kids will undoubtedly face starvation. Not to mention the millions of families who already rely on Food for Peace to survive. Please, tell Congress to protect this critical program… not undermine its impact.
Our leaders can build a world where child refugees grow up healthy, educated and safe no matter what disaster they’re facing.
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.
No upcoming events.
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.
