The resolution urges West Virginia's congressional delegation to advocate against cuts to the Local Food for Schools and Child Care (LFSCC) program, which has recently been terminated by the United States Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service. The LFSCC program was designed to allocate $660 million over three years to state agencies for purchasing local food for schools and childcare facilities, thereby supporting local farmers and enhancing child nutrition. The resolution highlights the program's significant benefits, including economic support for rural communities, improved child nutrition through fresh and minimally processed foods, and the establishment of connections between local producers and buyers.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of the LFSCC program in promoting healthy eating among children while simultaneously bolstering the agricultural economy. It notes that the program allowed states to tailor their strategies to meet local needs and was subject to strict financial oversight to ensure accountability in the use of federal funds. The West Virginia Legislature calls on its congressional members to take action to preserve this vital program and has directed the Clerk of the House to send copies of the resolution to the state's congressional delegation.
