Maritime – Agriculture Coalition Call On Congress to Support and Fund Food Aid Programs

With recent trends moving toward an increase in food assistance needs and global security threats, now is the time for America to continue our leadership role in the world by showing full support for Food for Peace, a program that has touched 3 billion lives in over 150 countries since 1954, and the McGovern-Dole School Feeding Program, which fosters knowledge through food. We urge you to maintain at least FY2016 funding levels for both Food for Peace and McGovern- Dole for FY2018.
