Join us during National School Lunch Week (October 10 – 13) by posting on social media to call for fully funding free school meals for all NY kids in the upcoming state budget. So far this year, over 550 more schools in New York are offering free school meals to all students. Even more NY schools will become eligible to start offering free school meals this school year, but an estimated 1,000 schools are still left behind.
This NSLW, let’s amplify the need for free school meals for all. Use the ready-to-go sample posts and graphics available in our social media toolkit!
