After a busy, stressful and uncertain week working on #CoronavirusUSA response, it’s comforting to babysit my 2 year old nephew and read Guess How Much I Love You three times in a row.

The need right now is staggering due to #COVIDー19, but I couldn’t be prouder to work for an organization doing its absolute best to meet it.

Congress found funds to help big companies in past #COVID19 relief packages. Let’s make sure they find money to help hungry kids in the next relief package. Take action by joining our SNAP Day of Action. 🗣️ bit.ly/37AotEs #SNAPFeedsKids

We need to get something done to help families who are afraid of losing their homes. We need to get something done that keeps kids from going hungry. But Senate Republicans REALLY, SERIOUSLY want to make sure that there’s a tax deduction for three martini business lunches.

Have we set a record for rainbows 🌈 so far this year in DC? Or do I just notice them more now that I’m not in an interior cubicle all day? Capital Weather Gang

Whether kids are learning at a school desk or their kitchen table, they need food to fuel them. Because of #COVID19, many children are facing the school year without the nutrition they need to learn & thrive. It doesn’t have to be this way. Take action: bit.ly/3htnryi

73% of schools have staff shortages. Congress: Don't make it harder for them to feed kids this summer and next school year. Include #ChildNutrition waivers in the #omnibus TODAY. Call Congress now with our tool: bit.ly/3hSDgQJ

It’s a frustrating misconception because that’s not at all what #childnutrition waivers have been about this past year - the waivers help schools stay open and safely feed kids despite supply chain & labor challenges.

Today, Congress failed our kids by not clearing the path for USDA to extend critical #ChildNutrition waivers. But this isn't over. We urge Congress to include USDA waiver authority in the omnibus bill before its final passage. Our full statement: bit.ly/3hQcvwq

👇 required reading for anyone in food policy, especially non-parents. Parents like me are already well aware! (Although I’m newly disgusted by the similac I fed my son for months…)

BREAKING: The House has passed the #KeepKidsFed Act by a vote of 376-42. This is good news, but it's not over yet. The bill now goes to the Senate and it's important that they pass it so kids can get the meals they need!
