Breakfast after the bell works. 92% of large school districts surveyed say it increases breakfast participation. FRAC’s new report highlights proven strategies to reduce hunger. Urge Congress to cosponsor the Universal School Meals Program Act: https://t.co/Js2v2c27qG
No one—including kids, people with disabilities, veterans, and older adults—should be left wondering when they will be able to eat next. The Farm Bill must restore the devastating cuts to SNAP, so millions of families can afford to put food on the table. https://t.co/Do0WtwnvSs
Millions of people are losing SNAP because of devastating cuts Congress chose to make. The Senate has a chance to change course. Urge your Senators to pass legislation that restores SNAP funding and supports families and farmers. https://t.co/RYkHjCR5XN
Started the morning off at Rhode Island Day with my friends @RepGabeAmo, @Rep_Magaziner & @FRACpres talking about how Trump’s cuts to food assistance are hurting Rhode Islanders, Bay Staters, and folks across the country. We have to fight back!
The House Farm Bill would allow private contractors to determine SNAP eligibility, replacing trained public workers who know how to navigate complex cases that families depend on for food assistance.
The Senate must do better. https://t.co/3iERxulRTk
Use FRAC’s FAN to call on your Members of Congress to fully fund WIC, without cuts to the CVB or other essential benefits. With full benefits and flexible services, WIC can continue to serve families to ensure a healthy start for infants and children. https://t.co/wv5dxhuXYC
It also highlights the value of the anti-hunger community coming together, so please join me and about 1,000 others at the conference to strategize, learn, partner, and advocate.

Behind every successful school breakfast program are school nutrition staff who show up early, work tirelessly, and put students first.
We thank them for powering learning every single day. https://t.co/3oecyS0wCQ
A nutritious school breakfast helps students begin the day ready to learn. Yet too many children still miss out because of barriers to participation. Expanding access is one of the most effective ways to ensure all kids are ready for success. #NSBW https://t.co/3oecyS14so
