Assembly & Senate one-house budgets included full funding for #Meals4AllNY. Join us TODAY & call NY leaders to send a clear message: close the gap for the 320K kids without access to no-cost meals at school & keep full funding intact in the final budget. bit.ly/HSMFACallInDay

This week we rallied in Albany to call for NY to fully fund #Meals4AllNY - Democrats and Republicans. It’s time to end stigma in the cafeteria, to feed our kids, and help them be the best versions of themselves they can be.
It’s time to fully fund universal school meals!

“Education advocates are hoping to see changes to the foundation aid formula…and a fully funded universal school meals program.”
My universal school meals bill has 91 co-sponsors including 20 Republicans. Let's get it done! #Meals4AllNY

Hear that, New York? Means testing for school lunches does absolutely nothing to benefit students and creates a system of disparity between classmates.
@GovTimWalz is right: Just feed our children!

More daily menu options, faster service, and better presentation are only a few benefits of the Cafeteria Enhancement Experience. Many more students will get this experience thanks to @NYCMayor, @DOEChancellor & @NYCSpeakerAdams

The Cafeteria Enhancement Experience is one of the most cost-effective ways to get our students eating school meals. Thanks to @NYCMayor, @DOEChancellor & @NYCSpeakerAdams roughly half of middle and high schools are not completed or funded!

The data says it all: Cafeteria Enhancement Experience has increased school lunch participation by 35%. Thank you @NYCMayor, @DOEChancellor & @NYCSpeakerAdams for committing an additional $50M towards cafeteria enhancement in this year’s budget.

We’re thrilled to see $50M for the Cafeteria Enhancement Experience included in the NYC Final Budget! CEE makes a huge difference, and we look forward to working with @NYCMayor, @DOEChancellor, and @NYCSpeakerAdams to give our students the dining space they deserve.

NEW: Read my op-ed with @SenatorHinchey in @lohud! In it, we call on #Meals4AllNY to be funded in our enacted budget. We can make NY more affordable and livable AND nourish our students 🍎lohud.com/story/opinion/2023…

Traditional school breakfast leaves kids behind. #BreakfastAftertheBellNY eliminates barriers such as time constraints and stigma to make the morning meal more accessible and give kids the fuel they need to learn and grow. #SchoolBreakfastNY #NSBW23

Rural communities have been hit hardest by the loss of federal funding for universal free school meals. @RHNSCNY ED Mark Bordeau highlights this disparity and calls on our leaders in Albany to fund Healthy School Meals for All in the @DandC. #Meals4AllNY

“Our children deserve to succeed in school, no matter their circumstances. None of them should be distracted by hunger taking their attention from their studies, personal growth and development,” @bmaher23ny #Meals4AllNY @SenOberacker

CFA is proud to celebrate Black History Month – learning from and celebrating those who work to eradicate racial inequity. We’re honored to work with organizations, students, and elected officials at the intersection of food justice and racial justice.

Healthy School Meals for All is an equalizer for students in smaller, rural school districts. @BeeNewspapers digs into why providing free school meals for all students is a vital anti-hunger program for kids across the state. #Meals4AllNY clarencebee.com/articles/hea…

1/ Wednesday was the beginning of #BlackHistoryMonth, and while CCC staff is focused on research, advocacy, and civic engagement work as state and city budget seasons kick off, we continue our commitment to driving systemic change that promotes equity and justice. #Advocacy
