Happy April! We invite you to join our unBox team call tomorrow morning (Friday, 4/2) at 9 am PST/12 pm EST, at this Zoom link (PW: 278840)!
unBox Team Spotlights:
- Angelina Polselli's March 26 presentation on unBox's Nationwide SNAP Online Research Brief at the UWFH Summit was awarded the student presentation with "Most Potential Impact"! Her presentation also earned unBox an invitation to present at the Deaton Institute for University Leadership in International Development's Within Reach: Zero Hunger conference April 12-15. Register today!
- BayAreaCommunity.org's "About Us" webpage is live, spotlighting all BAC team members and our BAC story!
Stay plugged in:
- Read! A School Nutrition Association analysis leverages new USDA data to reveal that school meal programs served 30% fewer meals to students and incurred significant losses in federal revenue in the first nine months of the pandemic. Civil Eats spotlights NYC Department of Education's resilient, creative, and innovative approaches to fighting this trend!
- Listen! Today April 1, 12:00 pm PST/3:00 pm EST: FRAC's P-EBT Deep Dive: Highlights From Approved State Plans webinar. USDA has approved 30 states' 2020-2021 school year P-EBT plans. unBox and our P-EBT outreach partners at San Francisco Unified eagerly await CA's approval!
- Act! CA's “Free School Meals for All Act of 2021” is set for its first hearing April 7, and could transform school food by permanently providing free meals to all K-12 students, incentivizing local purchases from California farmers, and supporting low-income families in reducing child hunger when schools are closed. Send a letter to the Senate Education Committee TODAY by 5 p.m. Pacific Time!
