Today Andrew met with Santos Moreno, who is the Outreach Coordinator for the Office of Congresswoman @PramilaJayapal (WA-07). They discussed the increased need to serve fresh and healthy meals to families and individuals who cannot afford them.
During SY 2022-23, many students in need of #freeschoolmeals did not meet the household income eligibility level. A family of 3 that earns more than $30K/year did not qualify for free meals. ALL students should have the nutrition needed to learn & thrive. https://t.co/n0aDiLdPDv
