People of America! In this difficult moment in our history, we owe it to all communities to make sure access to food is not an issue. Today, @WCKitchen and I are proud to join with @SenKamala Harris @SenatorTimScott @RepThompson @RepMcGovern & @RodneyDavis announce the FEED Act.
This bipartisan, bicameral legislation increases federal support to let states partner with restaurants and non-profits to provide meals to our most vulnerable citizens. Wherever there’s a fight so hungry people may eat...we will be there! We must! mikethompson.house.gov/newsroom/press…
.@SenKamalaHarris 👋

I applaud the leadership of Reps. Thompson, McGovern, and Davis and Sens. Harris and Scott. Food is not and should not be a political issue. Food unites us in the good times, and we must unite around it in the difficult times too. We, The People are one! 🇺🇸

People of America! I want to talk about two photos that tell the story of food in our country in this moment...two different, painful realities that we are experiencing, and the opportunity we must seize to make sure food is not the problem but the solution 1/
The first is from Idaho. Huge mountains of potatoes without any buyers because so many of the forms in which we eat them - stadiums, cafeterias, restaurants - are shut down for safety an low demand, and so too are the processing plants. 2/
Next, thousands of cars in line for a food bank...in San Antonio, but could be anywhere in the country right now. With millions out of work and many visiting food banks for the first time, the system is totally overwhelmed and people are going hungry. 3/

In good times & bad, a hot plate of food is vital nourishment for body & soul. Let’s put the restaurant industry’s 15mil workers at the service of 🇺🇸 to feed elderly, vulnerable families and first responders. With the urgency of now, we’ll make food the solution, not the problem.
We need a New Deal for food so that America Eats Now. Tell Senators 202-224-3121 that federal aid must feed America AND support the 600k restaurants that keep our farmers, suppliers & delivery drivers in business. Tell @POTUS @VP @SpeakerPelosi @senatemajldr @JoeBiden @SenSanders
Don’t stop there. Support your local restaurants. Buy a meal for medical professionals on the front lines. Stay home if you can and listen to the experts, always. Wash your hands. Be kind and care for one another. Leave enough for the next person. Empathy reaches beyond six feet!

#CoronavirusUSA Supermarkets should open early mornings for 2 hours for elderly above 60, to protect them from contact with younger people. Also volunteer system for shopping and delivery should be implemented.....
So @WholeFoods @Safeway @Walmart @Publix @Albertsons @GiantFood @kroger @HEB @LidlUS @FoodLion @MarketBasket @Piggly_Wiggly please unite and offer 2 hours of shopping for elderly over 60 and/or shopping+delivery system for elderly #Savinglifes @SpeakerPelosi @senatemajldr @VP
Will work but mainly for cases of last resort,where the elderly have no one to take care of them.Also maximum sanitation and care should be implemented, cross contamination can not happen. Also if we deliver to elderly, we need to sanitize the bags we deliver to the door....
