13.8 million children in America face food insecurity. We're looking for an organization ready to lead the fight against student hunger—with dedicated technical support to power the mission.

Hunger doesn't always look like empty lunch trays. It's students skipping meals, relying on cheap junk food, or working full-time just to afford dinner. When school lets out, millions lose their primary source of nutrition.
School nutrition staff see students eagerly lining up for breakfast every Monday morning—after a weekend without enough to eat.
1 in 5 food-insecure students come from families who earn just above the cutoff for free meals but still can't afford lunch.
Only 30 out of 100 students who receive free lunch during school are reached by summer meal programs—leaving 70% without support.
1.5 million students have unpaid meal debt. Some schools have resorted to "lunch shaming"—denying meals or singling out children who can't pay.
We don't ask kids to bring money to pay for the school bus or for using a textbook. By the same logic, lunch should be part of a free public education.— School Nutrition Director
States across the country are proving that universal school meals work. The policy momentum is building—and organizations can lead the way.
California, Maine, Colorado, Minnesota, Michigan, New Mexico, Massachusetts, and Vermont now provide free breakfast and lunch to all students.
Schools with free meals for all saw dramatic increases in daily lunch participation—reducing stigma and ensuring more kids are fed.
Legislation has been introduced to cancel all school meal debt nationwide. Organizations can advocate for this policy and provide interim relief.
