New Democrat Coalition Chair Kuster Applauds Biden Administration’s Plan to Expand School Meals for Children

New Dems previously called on the Biden administration and Congress to expand meals for Children as part of the Coalition’s Action Plan to Fight Inflation

Today, New Democrat Coalition Chair Annie Kuster (NH-02) released the following statement applauding the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s new rule that would help provide millions more children with school meals: 

“Last year, as part of the New Democrat Coalition’s Action Plan to Fight Inflation, our Members pushed the Biden Administration and Congress to extend school and summer meal flexibilities to ensure no child goes hungry. 

“New Dems are thrilled to see the USDA’s action to help provide more school meals to low-income students across the country by lowering the threshold for the Community Eligibility Provision. Now, it’s time for Congress to come together to provide the necessary funding to execute this plan and get us closer to ending child hunger in America.”
