HUGE thank you to our partner @TopsMarkets and everyone who came out yesterday to commemorate the launch of the Double Up Food Bucks NY program in multiple Tops locations in Rochester! We could not do this work without the support from our valued partners 🍎🥕#DoubleUpNYS
Excited to be a part of this project with @FieldandForkWNY as they continue to expand the Double Up Food Bucks program across New York State! This month Double Up launched at 3 GreenStar Co-Op locations, increasing healthy produce access for Ithaca families.
Committed to combating food insecurity in the Southern Tier and across NY. Proud to join @FieldandForkWNY at Green Star Food CoOp in Ithaca to announce their participation in the Double Up Food Bucks Program which supports families by matching SNAP dollars spent on fresh produce.

“Universities and their leaders spend so much of their time and energy fixated on changing the hearts and minds of political and monied elites that they often forget to engage with the people that have power and influence to advocate for them,” says Neil Lewis, Jr.
The 2023-24 academic year has been a whirlwind for U.S. higher ed. Reminding us that universities are “Palaces for the People,” CALS prof. Neil Lewis, Jr. explains how this shift in mindset could help improve higher ed's relationship with the public. brookings.edu/articles/unive…

“Many times, top-down approaches can unintentionally harm people. By engaging with communities, I aim to incorporate their expertise into the research process," says ARC researcher, @JouziZeynab.

Check out this PBS NewsHour series on the social safety net. Glad I could contribute my perspective (starting around 2:49 mins), which very much centers on recognizing the ubiquity of economic need (over the life course) & the role of the safety net in meeting that need.
