ICYMI: #FoodFri Twitter Chat – September 4th, 2020

A1: Elijah’s Promise is a Community Soup Kitchen and good systems organization in New Brunswick, NJ. We advocate for health school meals because we believe that school food can be a bedrock of food security, nutrition, jobs, education, and healthy food relationships! #FoodFri https://t.co/KlePrRCiRq
