Earlier this week my District Director Folake met with @FeedingNys to discuss the Healthy School Meals for All Act.
With the enactment of this statewide policy, schools would gain access to free breakfast and lunch! Access to meals at schools would save families monthly food costs, improve test scores, and get kids focused and ready to LEARN!! It is necessary and so important to have this program funded in the NYS budget, and I’m fired up to make sure we get it there. I’m so proud to support @votejgr legislation that has paved the way for this idea for years!

Food insecurity is affecting so many in our city and we need youthful energy and fresh ideas to help combat the issue. If you are a high school student with an interest in food justice, I urge you to apply to be a Youth Food Advocate with @YFAcrew
Be sure to check out school breakfast tomorrow!
Check out our new French Toast Sticks tomorrow morning!
This whole grain, lower in sodium, and lower in sugar breakfast item was developed in partnership with @urbanschoolfood and taste-tested by our students.

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
School meals are as important to academic success as textbooks and teachers. New York should provide equitable opportunities for all students – and school meals are a critical piece. @GovKathyHochul should make #Meals4AllNY a priority: bit.ly/SchoolMealsForAllNY

1 in 7 kids in New York currently experiences hunger & many rely on school-provided meals as a consistent source of nutrition. We urge @GovKathyHochul to make this a priority & provide #Meals4AllNY – it’s the right thing to do. Learn more here: bit.ly/SchoolMealsForAllNY

No child should miss out on a healthy school breakfast & lunch because of stigma – but many do. NY can level the playing field by providing free school meals for ALL students. We urge @GovKathyHochul to prioritize #HealthySchoolMealsForAll: bit.ly/SchoolMealsForAllNY #NSLW22
