The President’s Budget proposes eliminating AmeriCorps, the national service program that fuels FoodCorps’ ability to improve children’s health in eighteen states around the country. Here’s what you can do.
Last week the White House released the President’s budget, which provides a vision of administration priorities as Congress develops the actual budget that will fund our government. The budget proposed eliminating AmeriCorps, the national service program that fuels FoodCorps’ ability to improve children’s health in eighteen states around the country. This recommendation disregards overwhelming public support and eight decades of strong bipartisan legislative support for national service.
