House Bill: 5504 Improving Nutrition for America's Children Act - the 2010 Child Nutrition Reauthorization
Every five years the window of opportunity opens on Capitol Hill as lawmakers and their staff work together to improve, tweak and reauthorize the federal Child Nutrition Programs.
The School Breakfast Program and the National School Lunch Program are permanently authorized. However the other child nutrition programs that affect school nutrition operators must be reauthorized every five years. The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), State Administrative Expenses (SAE), the Special Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) and other smaller pieces of the complete package of child nutrition programs must be renewed because they have actual expiration dates. The Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004 expired on September 30, 2009 was extended until September 30, 2010.
Thanks to the School Nutrition Association and the Food Research and Action Center for their ongoing updates on this important legislation.

Stand Up, Take Action, Make Noise for the MDGs SEPTEMBER 17 - 19, 2010
When world leaders gather at the United Nations for the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) Review Summit in September,2010, the voices of their citizens will follow them, telling them, loudly and clearly:
“We will no longer stay seated or silent in the face of poverty and the broken promises to end it!’
On Saturday, September 18, we will join together in a unified global action to “Make a Noise for the MDGs.”
From Italy, where citizens will set off their alarm clocks in a public square, to Africa, where MDG supporters will gather to play drums, to villages in Asia, where anti-poverty campaigners will bang on pots and pans, the global movement in support of the MDGs will be visible, vocal and impossible to ignore.
JOIN US AND BE COUNTED...STAND UP AGAINST POVERTY!
