So proud of my dad. From working in the last shoe factory in Haverhill, to serving elders in nursing homes, and running your own international nonprofit in partnership with MA hospitals youve given so much to this country and our family. <�<�<�<� https://t.co/AYzpmfilnj
That<U+2019>s a wrap from the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition & Health! We shared with @chefjoseandres that MA extended universal free school meals. He smiled, unimpressed, & said <U+201C>I don<U+2019>t expect any less from Massachusetts.<U+201D> Free school meals is our minimum responsibility. https://t.co/py74hmrVQo
Today’s the day for @JuanForRep! Take a few minutes today to either volunteer or donate. #mapoli https://t.co/04zJKJ7X59
If you or folks you know struggle with food insecurity, please refer them to the @projectbread Food Source Hotline. The hotline can take calls in 160 languages and has a line dedicated to the hearing impaired community. #COVID19 https://t.co/o4HdqQgQtA
Great day yesterday, celebrating that our Act Promoting Student Nutrition is now law. This is estimated to impact an additional 10,000 food insecure students & the law bans meal debt shaming for good in MA. No kid will be denied a meal is the Commonwealth. https://t.co/4JjoH41762
I ask for your #vote today so we can continue to deliver real outcomes for real people. I love this district and every day I wake up thinking about what more we can do to make life better & more just for our community. Please vote & text 5 friends. https://t.co/rLFY2Hcl7Z
December 1969<U+2013> the last time the White House held a conference on hunger. The conference produced expanded programs that we<U+2019>ve come to know today like SNAP & WIC. Excited to be in DC this week and hope to maximize the 36 hours I<U+2019>m there to advance the cause of ending hunger. https://t.co/QAIR4vyrVe
Today I was honored to receive the @Gr8BosFoodBank Public Advocate of the Year Award alongside my friend from Holyoke @AaronMVega, co-lead on #BreakfastAfterTheBell in the House. 1 in 9 MA kids struggle with hunger. Were on our way towards changing that with this bill. #mapoli https://t.co/n1BhIekUdN
By extending universal school meals, the House budget: <U+2705> Provides $110 million in relief for families w/ kids in public schools <U+2705> Shields families from rising costs in the food sector, alleviating impact of inflation <U+2705>Removes stigma! Real relief for working families. #mapoli https://t.co/gUfeqv1Ty2
