SNA Endorses School Meals Legislation
August 4, 2020
US lawmakers recently introduced the Pandemic Child Hunger Prevention Act, which would authorize free school meals -- either on campus or distributed via grab-and-go and delivery methods -- during the coronavirus pandemic under the School Breakfast Program and the National School Lunch Program. The School Nutrition Association is strongly supporting the proposed bill as well as advocating for federal emergency funds for school nutrition programs to offset costs related to closures during the pandemic.
