Tell Congress: No U.S. service member should struggle to put food on the table!

No member of our military should be without enough to eat, but tens of thousands of active duty service members and their families are currently facing food insecurity.

Tell Congress: It's our duty to ensure that no member of the military ever struggles to feed themselves or their family.

Don't let military members and their families go hungry

Dear [Decision Maker],

* Personalize your message

I believe that every single person serving our country in the military should be able to provide food for their families. I'm shocked and dismayed that there are active duty service members and their families who don't have enough to eat. After all the sacrifices they've made, it's just not right. As Congress drafts the fiscal year 2022 National Defense Authorization Act, I urge you to support the creation of a Military Family Basic Needs Allowance to provide a monthly stipend to service members whose income is below 130 percent of the Federal Poverty Level.

Low salaries for enlisted members, high rates of unemployment for military spouses due to the transitory nature of the military, high cost of living near many military bases across the country, high costs of childcare, and a range of other challenges related to military service make affording enough to eat difficult for military families.

We owe it to our brave service members to ensure they and their families have enough food. And, food insecurity amongst the military ranks can also cause health issues and negatively impact military readiness.

Please take action to support those in uniform and their families who have already sacrificed so much.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
