Hunger in America isn't a new problem. But it is a solvable one. In 1969 the first and only The White House Conference on Food, Nutrition and Health led to landmark legislation and less hunger. It's time for new voices, new ideas and a new White House conference to #EndHungerNow.

🧵Emotional day at ⁦Chicago’s Food Bank⁩. The inaugural class of our new Certified Logistics and Warehouse Technician job training program graduated today. They completed 12 weeks of hard work — 10 weeks of classroom/hands-on training + two weeks of internship

Spent the day visiting food pantry partners - and the common, heartbreaking theme wasn’t hunger; it was gun violence. Stop the madness, Chi.

IMAN Board Member & Culinary Chef Gina present onsite & online every Saturday morning to take items from the Food Pantry & demonstrate what type of healthy meals are possible

"Wherever you run into people — perfect strangers — just go on up and introduce yourself and tell them about the Child Tax Credit" says VP Harris. Full license to policy nerd! Just in time for summer BBQ's. My new icebreaker: Have you heard a/b the 40% decline in child poverty?

Leave them alone for a few days. Let the sun shine on them, let the rain fall on them. Then your seeds will start to grow.

Greatest privilege of my job - getting to come to work with the amazing June Williams every day for the last 25 yrs. Here’s to many, many more!!

Inspired by this - spent an afternoon with Melissa and the Above and Beyond Family Recovery Center team recently and trust me, she is a force. So grateful for her leadership!

Awesome partnership with two great organizations - #FeedingHope indeed!

In Tinley Park this morning @ Together We Cope. The food pantry serves about 3,000 households each month. Since the start of COVID, its doors never closed — immediately switching from indoor distributions to car delivery Chicago’s Food Bank 💚

So proud of the work Feeding America food banks are doing every day in this unrelenting crisis - esp the Chicago’s Food Bank team here in Chi - #endhungernow
