The pandemic has amplified health disparities, and food insecurity has increased for families of color. Our grant to @NAZMpls will help families who need food support, as part of our efforts to advance equity in the Twin Cities: https://t.co/F2Va7ODJM9 #UnitedForCommunities
@Leggo_My_Legos Hi Jonathan! Thank you for the message. If you could please enjoy it, or share it with a neighbor that would be great. We will have to re-deliver a new bag to the family.
Gratefully, Greg
I saw these two school lunches yesterday and was reminded that yellow foods are a lot like a yellow traffic light - proceed with caution. I hope some other nutritious ingredients were included in these meals. #healthandwealth#positivehealthoutcomes#byebyechronicdisease
It is amazing what we can accomplish together. Led by students, accomplished with excess capacity - demonstrating the power of community-inspired solutions!
Grateful to deliver our weekend meals to individuals and families in-need.Demonstrates the power of a student-inspired program from Venture @VentureMPLS.Over 80% of the nutrition was provided by CROSS https://t.co/uGAtnQBZIv - food that may have been thrown away.#letsgetthisdone
An amazing idea @MackenzieMays - thank you for sharing! We love the community-inspired solutions. We should also look into the Airport catering companies like LSG Sky Chef for existing infrastructure and excess capacity https://t.co/C20EKWpVTe.
My mom, worried about the many free and reduced priced lunch kids in West Virginia, just suggested that school bus drivers keep their routes but deliver meals Mon-Fri. And it’s... kinda brilliant?
“Twitter that, maybe someone will listen!” she says.
A great example of community-inspired collaboration - everyone wins... especially the consumer who doesn't have to compromise to receive the best nutrition. One year after Native-owned Tanka Bar had lost nearly everything, the buffalo are on their way back https://t.co/dXexVSKjME
Another upstream opportunity to provide awareness and education that may have a significant social and financial impact at unraveling the current trajectory of diabetes - AI Can Spot Low Glucose Levels Without Fingerprick Test https://t.co/IOgc4jq2LR
Unacceptable - SNAP is one of the top 3 poverty-fighting programs according to a US Census Bureau survey. The social and economic costs of chronic disease due to food insecurity is well documented. Losing Access to Food Stamps https://t.co/Xd4pKf75zQ #timetodoubledown

Love this story from Naveen Jain @Naveen_Jain_CEO highlighting the power of disrupting from outside of the 'system'. Would Entrepreneurs be the next Superpowers? https://t.co/T8iDI1iqfj These same principles can be applied to serving our most vulnerable brothers and sisters.
Enjoyed a productive morning at #BreakingPatterns. We must be willing to be vulnerable to move beyond our comfort zone. Grateful for @afcmn, and the insights from Kris Kewitsch @kkewitsch, Uvinie Lubecki @Uvinie, Maria De La Cruz @HeadwatersFdn, Tuleah Palmer from NICDC.
