Dear Parents and Teachers,
A common refrain from almost ALL parents - no matter the neighborhood, no matter the shul membership, no matter the economic status - is the request for RELIEF from the cost of school lunches.
School Directors went to Albany earlier this month to join Agudas Yisroel in lobbying for a handful of educational funding priorities - one of which was Universal School Lunch.
Boruch Hashem, over the past year, significant progress has been made and many more schools and children are eligible, but it's not enough. Many kids are still left behind, especially with the added cost of kosher meals. We need your help to ensure that every child in every yeshiva in New York is eligible for school meals.
Due to OUR advocacy, both the Assembly and Senate included universal school lunch in their budget proposals, but we must push to make it a reality. Act now by urging the governor and the legislature to prioritize this in the final budget negotiations.
Join us today to make a difference. Let's ensure no child goes hungry in school.

I did it...it literally takes 30 seconds, and will make a BIG difference.
