"To @GovKathyHochul, @AndreaSCousins, and @CarlHeastie, my message is simple: Feeding our children must be a top priority." - @TheRevAl


Thank you, @GovMLG & the #nmleg, for making sure children have access to the nutritious meals they need to learn & thrive! With this, now becomes the 5th state to implement #schoolmealsforall. We are excited to see the national momentum growing behind the school meals movement!

New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has signed a new bill into law to ensure all students have access to free and healthy school meals. The bill provides free breakfast and lunch in every New Mexico school, with fresh ingredients from local farmers and growers.

We applaud @GovTimWalz and the MN legislature for passing School Meals For All. New York, it's our turn. Millions of kids are going hungry across the state. We can do something about it. Tell Albany: Fund #Meals4AllNY @GovKathyHochul @CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins

Millions of kids in New York are going hungry. That’s just wrong. Thank you @NYSenate and @NYSA_Majority for supporting Universal School Meals. Tell Albany: Fund Universal School Meals.


"Without a continued commitment, school meal debt, when schools fall behind in paying meals, will soar. This happens not because kids from the lowest income families can’t pay, but because middle-income kids can’t pay." - @bradleytusk courant.com/2023/03/12/bra…

✅ This just in: CT Legislators have voted YES so that our kids can eat at no-cost for the rest of this school year. We still have work to do to make sure our students can have this permanently. Join us: schoolmeals4allct.org #schoolmeals4allct #feedourfuture #connecticut

"Anore Horton, executive director of @HungerFreeVT , which is receiving a grant from Solving Hunger, said she doesn’t want families to associate school with debt collection for unpaid school meal costs" Read more on our work to make #schoolmealsforall ⤵️ politico.com/news/2022/12/3…


Ending child hunger is a bi-partisan issue. We are happy to see members from both parties come together to ensure no child has to go hungry while at school by implementing #schoolmealsforall! #Meals4AllNY spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-ny…

It’s School Nutrition Association Advocacy Week, and we’re celebrating Universal School Meals at the statehouse! School Nutrition professionals shared why they think free school meals are important for our students.


Last year, we were grateful to work with @HungerFreeVT to extend #schoolmealsforall in Vermont. This year, we're back with the Hunger Free Vermont team to make it permanent. vtdigger.org/2023/01/25/sch…

At the state level, the growing fight to secure free meals for all public school students got a major boost last week with an infusion of cash from Tusk Philanthropies’ Solving Hunger. More in this week's #thefieldreport. buff.ly/3HCepix


"So we’ve passed a bill that addresses hunger. And economic development. And climate." Hear from VT state Senator Brian Campion on extending universal school meals, the program's immense benefits, and how its reach will go far beyond just the classroom. huffpost.com/entry/brian-ca…


“There’s a point where you get used to being hungry” No child should have to get used to being hungry. In the past 2 years, we have seen the effectiveness of universal school meals in fighting hunger & that's why we support school meal legislation today. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/s…
