When a family loses SNAP, their kids can lose automatic eligibility for free school meals too.

New national reporting highlights something a lot of families don't realize is connected: SNAP and free school meals.

When a family loses SNAP, their kids can lose automatic eligibility for free school meals too. And when enough students in a school lose SNAP, the whole school can lose the ability to offer free meals to every student, not just the ones who qualify individually.

According to the article, up to 18.3 million students nationally could be affected this school year. For a family with two kids in school, losing free meals could mean over $2,000 more in food costs this year alone. Miami-Dade County Public Schools has already had to scale back its free meal program for this reason.

Neighbors count on SNAP for groceries at home and reliable meals for their kids at school.

📦 Where does the food go after it leaves Second Harvest?

It doesn’t stay in our warehouse. It makes its way into communities across Southeast North Carolina through our network of partner agencies.

Food donated to Second Harvest is sorted, stored and distributed to local food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, meal programs and other community organizations. These partners are on the front lines, connecting food with neighbors who need it most.

Every box, can, bag and fresh food item has a destination — a family’s kitchen table, a senior’s pantry, a child’s dinner or a neighbor’s next meal. ❤️

When you support Second Harvest, you’re helping move food from where it’s available to where it’s needed most.

Help us keep the food moving and hunger at bay. Make a donation today:
