Provide Healthy School Meals to All Students
Students can’t learn if their stomachs are grumbling. Universal school meals are proven to reduce child hunger.

Right now, millions of families are facing growing challenges. An estimated 3.5 million people have been cut off from SNAP since last year due to new restrictions in the Republican tax law, H.R. 1.
