Abstract
The article argues that immigrant-inclusive policies promote child and family health. Topics discussed are health effects of reduced participation in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast program, importance of policy changes to advancing equity and immigrant inclusion, and opportunities for transformative policy improvements such as development of a national strategy to end hunger and reauthorization of the Child Nutrition Act.
