This is simply tragic: one in four families with children are suffering food insecurity and this bureaucracy is preventing a billion dollars of relief to reach those who need it. 🙁

there are children i know of in Florida that would literally be on the edge of starvation without the year-round school breakfast+lunch programs, even *without* the pandemic.
i cannot even *BEGIN* to imagine how big an issue this is right now in the pandemic with off again-on again school closures, illnesses, and quarantines.
