“The end of this program will cause immediate hardship for many families,” said Katie Porter and other Democrats who are trying to extend a school lunch waiver program that’s kept millions of children from going hungry over the past two years.
Democrats in both chambers of Congress are urging House and Senate leadership to help extend a school lunch waiver program that’s kept millions of children from going hungry over the past two years.sent to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi last Friday, a group of nine Democrats led by Rep. Katie Porter asked the Democratic leader to schedule a vote to extend waivers for school meals for this week, ahead of the program’s scheduled expiration date on June 30.
“With higher food costs forcing families to stretch their budgets, free school meals can bring down costs for families by hundreds of dollars each month,” the lawmakers wrote. “The end of this program will cause immediate hardship for many families who will be forced to purchase full-price meals at school or pay for food at inflated prices from local grocery stores.
