Reminder via @RESULTS_Tweets volunteer Willie: "The current farm bill that passed the House is set to create even more hunger... With one in five children living in poverty and wondering where their next meal will come from, we can't afford to increase hunger." #SNAPMatters teapawt.net/WillieDickerson/status…

With the passage of the #FarmBill, the #HouseofRepresentatives has made it clear they're OK with taking food from children, seniors, ppl w disabilities, & others. It's up to the Senate now to protect & strengthen #SNAP.

The Senate Farm Bill is a real signal of hope that we can come up with a #FarmBill that both helps agriculture and doesn't hurt poor people. buff.ly/2JNEwWT

What’s the “summer slide?” It happens when kids return to school a few months behind in reading and math than their classmates. More often than not, it happens because of hunger. The good news is that we can help fight it! Find out how: bit.ly/2kPkegW
