Low-income communities of color in the South and Midwest have passed policies limiting new #dollarstores. Understanding the motivation behind these policies is key to supporting other community-led campaigns @DrCRSingleton @MDPIOpenAccess https://t.co/5Vub7MY1f6

Providing healthy meals for every student is one of the best ways to make sure that every child has an equal chance to succeed in the classroom #Meals4AllNY

NEW: I spoke to @poozer87 on @CapPressRoom about 1 of my priorities next budget: universal school meals 4 ALL children. 1 in 7 kids in NY experience hunger. My bill would feed 700K+ more kids & save families $140 per child in groceries a month. Listen now!https://t.co/YPKe85exKP

This National School Lunch Week, we’re celebrating that New Yorkers overwhelmingly agree that lunch should be free for all students. Check out our report for more on NYers’ perspective of school meals. #NSLW22 https://t.co/ASmh6mLHSP

[Hunger Solutions New York @NewYorkHunger]

The loss of universal free school meals impacted thousands of NY families. National School Lunch Week is a reminder of how critical healthy school meals are for kids’ learning & growth. See how NY can step up and provide #HealthySchoolMealsForAll #NSLW22 https://t.co/aw2lZm5Wpj

Excited to be in Buffalo for the launch of the Western New York Food System Plan. The plan outlines actions to promote resiliency, strong economic performance, and equity, while reducing hunger and food insecurity across a 9-country region. https://t.co/FiCzY4H71r

Advocates are pushing for the NYS to provide healthy school meals for all, but federal action would be even better! @NoKidHungryNY @FoodAdvocatesNY

Child obesity is lower in New York. Here's why – and why this health disorder still matters https://t.co/aRewysYIBo via @BNrefresh @ScottBScanlon @jemccarthy76

Across the country, states are working to make healthy school meals for all, despite federal inaction. Check out this new @nokidhungry resource to learn more: https://t.co/5UgNOgrNSs

[New York Health Foundation @NYHFoundation]

The annual food security report released by the @USDA_ERS found that hunger fell in 2021 compared to the previous year, underscoring the critical role that federal nutrition programs play in keeping hunger at bay during the COVID-19 pandemic. https://t.co/goWQWZVumc

[Julia McCarthy @jemccarthy76]

A recent article by @priyakrishna finds that Americans are increasingly turning to credit cards to pay for food. How common is this practice? In NY, more than 20% of food-insecure individuals purchase food on credit: https://t.co/W3fDVwG6uE

New York can and must take action to ensure every student has access to a healthy breakfast and lunch each day. Join the #HealthySchoolMealsForAllNYKids campaign: https://t.co/U9RRcLplJs

ICYMI: A new @NYHFoundation report details the results of a statewide survey about the health and food insecurity. Food-insecure New Yorkers are twice as likely to report poor or fair health. @CBSNewYork https://t.co/OfCXdvfgQ8

As school starts back up, 1.1 million NYS students will lose access to free school meals. CA, ME, VT, MA, and NV have committed to feeding all students. @GovKathyHochul https://t.co/PkBZ9VfLz6
