The school garden at PS/MS 007 Samuel Stern School in #Harlem was a terrific spot for a chat between @NYCUrbanAg Executive Director Qiana Mickie & @ESNYC Executive Director Shanon Morris to discuss a new vision for #FarmtoSchool in NYC! #SchoolGardens #NYCUrbanAg #Farmers #AgEd

Food and nutrition education isn't just about teaching kids what to eat – it's also about fostering a lifelong love and appreciation for healthy, delicious food. Let's inspire our children to embrace healthy eating and live their best lives. #FoodEd4All

Legislators respond to the people they represent. ☎️ Call the Governor and your State reps to tell them you support Healthy School Meals for All with these instructions and scripts bit.ly/41E2uqZ TODAY! #Meals4AllNY

April 19, 2023 Call-in Day: Healthy School Meals for All NY Kids

Negotiations around this year’s state budget are still ongoing. We’ve done a lot of great work to make Healthy School Meals for All a top priority, but we need to keep the pressure on to make sure...

Healthy School Meals for All is a cost-effective way to improve students’ physical and mental health while boosting academic achievement. @GovKathyHochul, we need you to fully fund this critical policy for all NY kids! #Meals4AllNY

Healthy School Meals for All directly addresses food insecurity & helps struggling families make ends meet. With prices for essentials rising, the math is simple. Feeding all students = a more affordable NY. We need @GovKathyHochul to fully fund this critical policy! #Meals4AllNY

Healthy School Meals for All is a proven low cost, high impact policy that will reduce food insecurity & bolster equity in New York. It’s time for @GovKathyHochul to do what’s right for students and families by fully funding HSMFA. #Meals4AllNY

Students learn better when they eat better. A robust, well-trained team of School Food Managers makes that happen at schools across the City. Will @NYCCouncil support the managers NYC needs? We hope so! #FoodEd4All @NYCSpeakerAdams @RitaJosephNYC bit.ly/FoodEd4AllFY24

Flexible funding allows schools to tailor nutrition programs to their students’ needs. Whether they invest in gardens or pay teachers fairly for time providing programming, flexible funding makes food and nutrition education possible! #FoodEd4All bit.ly/FoodEd4AllFY24

We hope to see support for the Healthy Meals, Healthy Kids Act. This act would greatly expand access to free and healthy school meals. @RepEspaillat @RepJeffries @RitchieTorres @NydiaVelazquez

The act would also add funding for farm to school and scratch cooking initiatives at schools, helping to create healthy school environments for students to learn and grow.
