Every Child Deserves a Healthful School Lunch

Every child deserves a healthful school lunch.

Too many students miss out on school meals, affecting their concentration and ability to learn. Providing free meals to some leaves too many children behind.

Children fall though the cracks due to stigma, administrative barriers, or because although their families may be struggling, they do not qualify.

New York State must fund statewide Universal Free Lunch to ensure ALL students receive an equal and filling free breakfast and lunch in school to enable them to thrive academically and emotionally.
