Senator Patty Murray has introduced a bill that would help alleviate child hunger.
The bill is called the “Stop Child Hunger Act,” and it would provide low-income families with an EBT card, in place of free or reduced-priced meals, so their kids can continue to get food when school is out or school buildings are temporarily closed.
