Congresswoman Lois Capps speaks on the floor of the House of Representatives, recognizing National School Breakfast week and calling out the No Kid Hungry campaign’s recent analysis of the short and long term benefits of school breakfast.

In the lead-up to the release of “Hunger in Our Schools,” Share Our Strength’s Teachers Report, we spoke to thousands of teachers about their personal experiences with hunger in their classrooms.
