HUDSON MEMORIAL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

OFFERING OF LETTERS

Join us April 26 after Worship.

Can't make it in person? Write from home!

 

Thank you for participating in our annual Offering of Letters, a support project of the HMPC Mission Committee, where we write to our US Congressional Representatives and Senators asking for their support of the Farm Bill. Per the US Department of Agriculture: "The farm bill is an omnibus, multiyear law that governs an array of agricultural and food programs. Titles in the most recent farm bill encompassed farm commodity revenue supports, agricultural conservation, trade and foreign food assistance, farm credit, research, rural development, forestry, bioenergy, horticulture, and domestic nutrition assistance. Typically renewed about every five or six years, the farm bill provides a predictable opportunity for policymakers to comprehensively and periodically address agricultural and food issues."

 

When writing to your Representative/Senator, please consider emphasizing the following:

​

• Restore, protect and strengthen US Nutrition programs including SNAP and WIC - programs that help put food on the table;

• Fully fund and strengthen global food, health and development programs that promote human flourishing and help keep America safe, strong and prosperous;

• Pass a strong, bipartisan Farm Bill that supports farmers, strengthens communities and helps end hunger at home and overseas.

 

Thank you for your support of this critically important initiative. YOUR letter, every letter, is important.

​

If you choose to write a letter from home, bring it to worship on April 26 so we can add it to the collection.
