Project Updates:
-
unBox has partnered with SFUSD to support their P-EBT outreach campaign. We will research best practices for outreach and assistance from P-EBT 1.0 nationwide, create a guide for SFUSD staff providing assistance to families, help develop accessible informational materials for families, strategize outreach with SFUSD and the SF Human Services Agency, and track outreach success. Among SFUSD’s 54,000 students, we will strive to help ensure all those eligible for P-EBT are informed about this critical child nutrition program.
Stay plugged in:

-
January 26; 8:00 am PT: Partnership for a Healthy America presents their new campaign “to support our littlest eaters". They invite parents, educators, medical professionals, and industry leaders to turn child nutrition research into action, because "the best chance we have of developing little ones into lifelong healthy eaters is through the early introduction of vegetables."

Focused on the work that will be necessary to meet the food and nutrition needs of immigrant families in 2021 and beyond, they highlight research on reasons for low anti-hunger program uptake among eligible immigrant families; provide updates on COVID-19 relief provisions that can help support immigration family nutrition; and spotlight priorities to push with the Biden administration and new Congress.
