How to Contact Your Texas Legislators and Members of Congress
Congress considers proposals that impact our efforts to fight hunger. A call from you tells them their constituents care about hunger issues and are holding them accountable for their policy decisions. Be an advocate by communicating effectively with your legislators. Your voice matters.
