Join us on May 17th for a Social Media Day of Action

Published on Apr 30, 2018 in Child Nutrition, State Legislation, Young Children

Help #FundFoodWithCare by joining us for a social media day of action on May 17th. On Thursday, we will tweet out and post messages directed at target legislators and influencers to educate them about the benefits of supplementing the cost of serving healthy meals to children in child care. Please visit our Twitter and Facebook pages on Thursday to like, retweet, and share our posts so that we get our message out loud and clear from multiple angles. Additionally, we have created a few sample posts, hashtags, and Twitter handles below that we encourage you to use on May 17th alongside our efforts.

Help us prepare for May 17th by sending us videos or photos about how investing in serving child care meals would benefit your community. We will use the media we receive through next Tuesday for our posts on Thursday’s Day of Action.
