Child Nutrition Act - Lutheran Advocacy Ministries

Did you know that the Lutheran Advocacy Ministries offices are an arm of the ELCA which acts as the body of Christ by advocating for legislative action to support human rights as expressed through our social statements?
 See more on the Lutheran Advocacy Ministries of Pennsylvania website here - http://lamp.org/.

An urgent request is one regarding the Child Nutrition Act - watch this short, informational video - I did!


You can participate and advocate for children's nutrition by simply calling your Congressional representative at 1-877-698-8228. This toll free # will direct you to a script for your call and then you enter your zip code. It's very easy and important that the improvements to the Child Nutrition Act get passed this year!
I called - it is empowering to participate and only takes a couple minutes.

Advocacy is political, but it is not partisan. Did you know our church was involved in this way? Christ calls us as the body of Christ to work for change in this world, not to be separatist or unaware of the public policies around us which impact our neighbors, families, and friends.
