Let's End Childhood Hunger.
By starting with what happens in schools
By ensuring all students have access to school meals at no cost, more children could receive the nutrition they need at school — helping them to thrive.
The Latest Update: May 26, 2022
House includes 1-year extension of School Meals for All in their budget proposal. The House’s proposed budget is a big step toward fighting hunger in Massachusetts. Your support helped build our coalition against hunger and a grassroots movement that brought us to this milestone. Our next step is to make sure the final budget matches what the House has already offered.
THE SOLUTION IS CLEAR.
Universal school meals — school meals available at no-cost to every student — have benefits that extend far beyond the lunch table. Research shows when a child is well fed, they perform better in school, are at lower risk for obesity, and adjust to social situations better. Additionally, by making meal access universal, we help remove stigma around economic status and family situation—creating a more equitable and just educational environment.
