Reinstate Universal Free Lunch at All Georgia Schools!

A federally funded program allowed schools to provide meals at no charge to all students, regardless of income, for most of the past two years. But Congress has not extended that pandemic-era flexibility, forcing many families to once again get approved for free and reduced-price meals or fork over full price. The change has prompted concern from advocates who worry children could go hungry, especially as food costs rise.

Families are struggling to keep up with an increasing cost of living. Cutting off children's access to nutritious lunches is inexcusable. All children deserve healthful food so their brains and bodies can develop properly.

Reinstate the universal free lunch at all schools in Georgia now!
