As the school year begins, nearly 1 in 5 kids in the U.S. face food insecurity.

For many, school meals are their only consistent source of nutrition.

Every school year, we’re working to bridge that gap and provide quality meals to families to help students return to the classroom nourished, focused, and ready to learn.

Today, we honor Juneteenth by standing in solidarity with our Black communities and recognizing that liberation includes access...to opportunity, to dignity, and to basic needs like a home cooked meal.

Juneteenth is a reminder of how far we’ve come and how much work remains. True freedom means justice, equity, and care for all.
