Here's How You Can Follow Up on Your Offering of Letters

Bread for the World sent out this update for the 2018 Offering of Letters with instructions on how to follow up on those letters you wrote. Many of you probably received this note from Christine Melendez Ashley. 

Thanks to you, thousands of letters, emails, and calls have made their way to your members of Congress — urging them to invest in ending hunger. But our work isn’t finished yet.

President Trump recently signed a spending bill extending funding for programs like WIC, international food aid, and poverty-focused development assistance, but only through Dec. 7. Congress is taking a break from Washington, D.C., until after the November midterm elections. When they return next month, they will make final decisions on spending bills funding critical anti-hunger programs through 2019.

It’s not too late to join the 2018 Offering of Letters campaign. Here’s how:

• Call (800-826-3688) or email today. Urge your members of Congress to pass spending bills that strongly invest in programs like WIC, summer meals, global nutrition, and poverty-focused development programs.
