Bread for the World Offering of Letters
Update from the Peace and Justice Committee Our Bread for the World Offering of Letters urges Congress to protect and strengthen the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). It will help policy makers understand that ending childhood hunger requires a broader array of policies that address the issue of poverty as well as strong nutrition programs aimed at low-income children and their families. The ultimate goal of this advocacy campaign is to have fewer families and children going to bed hungry every night. The Offering of Letters seeks additional funding for Volunteer Income Tax Assistance.
