From the Food Research and Action Center (http://www.frac.org):
House Representatives Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ), Katie Porter (D-CA), and Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) led an effort last week that generated a bi-partisan letter from 48 Members of Congress to House and Senate leadership urging an extension of federally-provided school breakfast and lunch to all qualifying schools in the upcoming government budget funding package/the Continuing Resolution. Congress continues work to finalize the Continuing Resolution which must pass before October 1.
