Roadmap to End Childhood Hunger in America by 2015

A coalition of the nation's leading secular and faith-based anti-hunger organizations released a report outlining nine steps to eliminate childhood hunger. Among its proposals, the report recommends strengthening income supports and the nutritional safety net. The Roadmap to End Childhood Hunger also urges policymakers to take immediate steps such as reauthorizing child nutrition programs and reforming unemployment insurance to include part-time workers. The National Anti-Hunger Organizations drafted the report in response to President Obama's goal to end childhood hunger by 2015.
