LEGISLATION

Individuals and groups are invited to communicate with their families, friends, neighbors, colleagues, state and congressional legislators about legislation and policies that help fight hunger in Texas.
On the state level, Tarrant Area Food Bank supports outreach to State Legislators and other elected officials by the Texas Food Bank Network. This network consists of the 18 regional food banks and one food rescue organization that are members of Feeding America, the national network of regional food banks and food rescue operations. 

On the national level, we are represented by Feeding America and its Hunger Action Center.

Current Focus

During the last part of 2009 and most of 2010, the Feeding America network has been focused on the reauthorization of child nutrition laws by Congress. For the current status of this legislation, go to Child Nutrition Legislation.
