Dear Recipient's Title and Name:

I am writing to you as a concerned citizen and Teach NJ member. I believe all children should have access to free nutritious and healthy meals during their school day.

For the past two years, federal funding supported free school meals, providing a critical resource for many of our children and families during the pandemic. Now, without that funding, our families are feeling the impact. Food prices have surged, inflation has accelerated, and households are facing unpaid school meal debt. Our kids should not bear the brunt of this struggle. Children cannot learn if their basic needs aren't met. New Jersey must step in and help fill the gap to ensure no child is left hungry.

I urge you to vote 'YES' on A5573/S3956 to ensure all students receive free school lunch and the tools needed to thrive.

Thank you for your dedication to all of New Jersey’s children.

Sincerely,
Your Full Name
