Breaking News
The damage won’t stop at SNAP. School meals and Summer EBT are already being impacted in some states.
In the Spotlight
As Congress weighs deep SNAP cuts, FRAC’s latest report shows how these proposals could reverse progress made through the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), which allows high-need schools to serve free meals to all students.
In the 2024–2025 school year, CEP reached 27.2 million students in over 54,000 schools—a 15% increase from the year before. But without CEP, schools face more paperwork, meal debt, and barriers to serving all children.
Read the report to explore CEP’s growth and the risks ahead.
