Eight states to date have shown the country what is possible by passing Healthy School Meals for All policies. Join this session to walk through FRAC's soon-to-be released Healthy School Meals for All State Advocacy Guide and hear from state advocates about their own state campaigns to offer healthy school meals to all students at no charge to families. As traction builds across the country for free school meals for all, this session is a timely opportunity to think big about what school nutrition looks like when all students participate at no cost and how anti-hunger advocates can play a significant role in the movement.
