#FoodFri Tweetchat: Healthy School Fundraising
Here at MomsRising, we're extremely excited about this week's #FoodFri tweetchat. We'll be discussing a hot topic, healthy school fundraising!
Join @MomsRising and @CSPI this Friday, March 28, at 1 p.m. EST for a fun and informative #FoodFri tweetchat that will prepare you for the coming school year's fundraising initiatives, while taking into account the new rules for foods sold in schools.
Starting July 1, 2014, all foods sold in schools--including foods sold through on-campus fundraisers--will need to meet updated nutrition standards. While states can provide some limited exemptions for school-approved fundraisers, many schools need support in transitioning to healthy fundraising options. During this tweetchat we will share resources and get the momentum started to spread the word!
Join the #FoodFri Tweetchat with @MomsRising and @CSPI on Friday, March 28, 2014, at 1 p.m., EST / 10 a.m PST!
