100% of proceeds go toward paying down school lunch debt.
We believe that every child has the right to healthy school food and a supportive learning environment. Right now, some rich politicians not only oppose providing free school lunches to kids but also want to zero out funding for school lunch programs altogether. While they’re out there trying to stoke resentment, we’re speaking with one voice: all kids deserve healthy food.
We’ve got every reason to keep fighting. A hundred years ago, Progressive Era reformers helped launch the first school lunch programs. When the Black Panthers started providing free breakfast to school children in 1969, their efforts put pressure on political leaders to launch the federal School Breakfast Program. In 2023, thanks to the work of the Hunger Free School Meals campaign and activists like Valerie Castile, Minnesota passed a law for universal school lunch.
We know that by working together, we can make every public school a place where all children can eat, learn, and thrive. Join us on May 10 in paying down school lunch debt, creating a future with free school meals for all, and building the community we need now.
