Episode 2 - Can we even feed the ones here?
Sunday May 29, 2022
Sunday May 29, 2022
How ironic is it that there is a national baby formula shortage during a time where reproductive rights are in danger? In this episode, we dive into how we found ourselves in the formula crisis, school lunches and the staggering number of children who struggle with food insecurity.
If you or someone you know is struggling to find baby formula, please share the link below to help! Also, please find your representatives in the links below and urge them to push for the Universal School Meals Program Act of 2021!
Thank you all for listening!
