Maine just passed a bill that requires all state institutions – except for schools – to buy local foods! They must buy 20% of their food from local producers by 2025. Read more: buff.ly/2utEUPP #farmtoinstitution #Mainefood #foodpolicy @sustainableag PC: @ColbyCollege

"I am so glad I had access to SNAP when I needed it. It meant that I had one less thing to worry about when I was worried about so much, and it meant that I got to spend quality time with my parents before I had to tell them goodbye." #SNAPMatters bit.ly/2saN7aw
