CALL Your Representatives TODAY: Support for Bipartisan Child Tax Credit Proposal
As you may know, MANNA is serving the highest need for food in our 40-year history, and many of the people turning to our network are families with children. We have seen a staggering increase in the number of working families in our region who cannot afford enough food and other basic needs. A bipartisan expansion of the Child Tax Credit (CTC) would help offset these families’ rising costs with additional economic resources. This proposal would significantly reduce child poverty, benefiting 80% of the 19 million children whose families currently receive partial or no credit due to their income being too low.
MANNA and our dedicated partner network saw firsthand the dramatic reduction in child hunger achieved by an expanded CTC during the pandemic. And we saw the enormous spike in the need for food when it lapsed.
Please CALL your representatives in Congress TODAY to encourage support for this important and impactful bipartisan legislation! A phone call is very meaningful to our elected officials, and they track each call carefully.
Our WNC children need your voice today.
On behalf of everyone at MANNA, you have our deep thanks for your commitment to engaging with our elected officials.
