Dear Supporter, Child care, Head Start and preschool will receive additional federal funding under a spending plan that Congress approved last week. In addition, about 219,000 New Jersey families will keep tax credits that help low-income families make ends meet. Your support helped score these victories for children! Please help us secure more wins for kids in 2016 with a tax-deductible, year-end donation. Federal Budget Highlights It also provides:
In addition, the measure provides an $18 million increase for summer meals assistance for families and eliminates a requirement that the program be available only to families living in high-poverty communities. All this adds up to supports that can help NJ kids grow up safe, healthy and educated – giving them a better chance for a brighter future. Please support ACNJ as we build on these successes for kids in 2016. Happy holidays from all of us at ACNJ to you and yours! Sincerely, Cecilia Zalkind |
