Tell AZ Lawmakers to Fund AEDs, School Meals, and Healthy Foods!
Arizona lawmakers are currently discussing funding for programs in our state. Now is the time for us to speak up to ensure lawmakers prioritize support for critical programs that impact our heart and brain health, including:
1. $1 million to support legislation requiring Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) in high school athletic venues and sporting events;
2. $2 million for Arizona’s Double Up Food Bucks program, also known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) produce incentive program; and
3. $3.8 million to cover the cost of lunch AND breakfast for students participating in the reduced-price school meals program.
