They're not gonna get much media coverage/credit but please know that there are a huge number of Dietitians out there doing an insane amount of work right now to make sure kids across the country are still getting fed nutritious meals 👏👏👏#RDchat #publichealth #COVID19

My first experience planning emergency meal logistics. It is definitely a team effort. Very humbling. How is your community working to feed kids during school closures? #schoolmeals #schoolnutrition #NationalNutritionMonth #WorkFromHome #COVID19 #NoKidHungry

I don't want to brag, but the US Surgeon General just sent me a personal tweet. OK, it was to my profession, but still, I see you Dr. Adams!

Getting summer meals to kids can be a challenge/barrier for some families. Kids also have to stay at the meal site while they eat which can be tough with bad weather and other environmental factors. What do you think of these proposed flexibilities? #ThursdayThoughts

[Senator John Boozman @JohnBoozman]

The one-size-fits-all approach to #SummerMeals for children isn't working. That's why I've introduced the Hunger-Free Summer for Kids Act w/ @SenatorLeahy to give states flexibility to choose what makes the most sense to alleviate summertime #hunger

@FeedingAmerica report highlights childhood food insecurity in VT. In Bennington Cty, 1/3 of children facing hunger don’t qualify for nutrition support programs. Do you support Universal Free School Meals? https://t.co/hICJYnmiEX via @banner_news @VermontFoodbank @HungerFreeVT

So thankful to all my @SchoolLunch colleagues for their tireless efforts to improve #schoolnutrition programs. At #lac19 we spoke to our Congress folk about supporting our programs and heard @SecretarySonny update us on the changes we can expect moving forward
