👏🏽👏🏽Thank you, Jennifer Siebel Newsom and California Governor, for leading the charge to strengthening #SchoolMealsforAll with the #FarmtoSchool initiative! 🍎School meals are crucial to ending hunger and supporting California's children so they learn and thrive..

Grateful to California Governor & Jennifer Siebel Newsom for your continued commitment to the health and well-being of California's kids! 👏 The Farm to School program is integral to providing #SchoolMealsforAll, benefiting local farmers, the environment, and CA students & families alike. 🌱

.John Oliver: “School lunch should be considered an essential school supply like books or desks.” With #SchoolMealsforAll in CA, it is! We’ve led the way to deliver healthy meals and fight childhood hunger for every student. Thanks Last Week Tonight for covering this issue!

A serious stopgap funding bill would be of short duration to minimize uncertainty; adjust funding to meet time-sensitive needs; & omit controversial, unrelated policies w/ no place in a must-pass bill. The Speaker’s CR, which may lack the support to advance, fails on all counts.

Today the U.S. Census Bureau released #poverty data, including the Supplemental Poverty Measure that captures the local cost of living as well as the impact of anti-poverty programs. h/t to California Budget & Policy Center for breaking down what this means for California kids and families 🧵

Undocumented folks grow your food, build your city infrastructure, & work in any field you can think of! We do everything possible to support our families. It’s time we receive recognition for all our contributions and for being essential to our communities! #Debate2024

#BackToSchool is here, and so are #SchoolMeals4All! Not only do they combat child hunger, universal school meals increase learning and health outcomes for every student in CA. Learn more at frac.org/back-to-school Food Research & Action Center

Today in the The Sacramento Bee morning roundup: California Budget & Policy Center's report on California poverty going up in 2023. #Congress must bring back the highly successful Expanded #ChildTaxCredit.

We’re not even into Diablo winds Grateful to be a part of #AB607 #CAleg led by Todd Gloria Jessica Bartholow (she/her): now CDSS CWDA are always ready to maximize #Disaster #CalFresh food and protect #CalWORKs families when they must flee to safety #SNAPmatters #EndPoverty

Happy birthday #SNAP #CalFresh! The program is our most effective tool to fight hunger.

Yes! Thank you Rep. Jim McGovern for pushing to extend the restoration of stolen #SNAP benefits. Congress needs to include it in the continuing resolution.

#HappyBirthdaySNAP thanks for your decades of commitment to SNAP policy reform & outreach, California Association of Food Banks !

We strongly oppose the House #FarmBill cutting $30B from #SNAP benefits. Instead, we support Sen. Debbie Stabenow's version to protect and strengthen our nation’s vital anti-hunger program. #ProtectSNAP #EndHunger #HungerActionMonth

Last week, #SchoolMealsForAll got a shoutout on Last Week Tonight! THANK YOU John Oliver for highlighting the overwhelming positive impact universal free school meals have on students and school nutrition staff. Read more here: tinyurl.com/LWT-SMFA

“Child Tax Credit gives our babies better healthcare, better food, and better lives. We Need to Bring the Enhanced #ChildTaxCredit Now.” Rep. Gwen Moore #TaxFairnessNow Fair Share America

Thank you Crystal Food Research & Action Center for sharing how #SchoolMealsforAll boosts student achievement, attendance, behavior, and health while fighting hunger. Now Congress must act by passing the Universal School Meals Program Act #S1568 Bernie Sanders. Let's ensure no child goes hungry!

We agree with Rep. Jim McGovern - it is disgusting to demonize low-income families who are victimized by sophisticated criminal rings. We urge Congress to extend replacement of stolen #SNAP benefits in the continuing resolution. bostonglobe.com/2024/09/18/met…

Crystal you are amazing, thank you for leading the national movement to #EndHunger by maximizing the #ChildNutrition programs!! You have driven #SchoolMeals4All, #SummerEBT #SUNBucks, #SummerMeals, #AfterSchoolMeals, #SchoolBreakfast, and so much more! 🙌🎉🌟
