Join FRAC in celebrating National School Breakfast Week, a weeklong celebration from March 2–6 of the federal School Breakfast Program. Together, we can make sure every child has the nutritious meal they need to start their school day ready to learn.
Urge Your Members of Congress to Reverse H.R. 1’s SNAP Cuts
Congress must take immediate action to repeal the devastating cuts and harmful impacts on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) that were included in the budget reconciliation law, H.R. 1. Anti-hunger advocates are urging Members of Congress to cosponsor and support the Restoring Food Security for American Families and Farmers Act of 2025, which repeals the cuts to SNAP.

The Quest for School Breakfast
Fueling Adventures, One Morning at a Time
Every morning, students across the country begin their own quiet quest to learn — and a healthy school breakfast ensures they start their journey nourished and ready to succeed.
The School Breakfast Program provides millions of children with the nutrition they need to thrive, but real obstacles still stand in the way:
-
-
- school meal debt and stigma that discourages participation,
- traditional breakfast models that require students to arrive early to participate, and
- SNAP cuts in H.R. 1 that will sever students’ direct link to free school meals and hinder schools’ ability to implement the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), a powerful tool that allows high-poverty schools to offer all children school breakfast and lunch at no charge
-
Supportive, forward-thinking policies can help students and families overcome these barriers, especially as household budgets tighten and food costs rise.
Healthy School Meals for All, CEP, and innovative breakfast service models like Breakfast After the Bell are shown to boost participation, giving schools the tools to make breakfast accessible and stigma-free and helping every student step into the day equipped for the journey ahead.
School Breakfast Is Critical for Busy, Struggling Families
Mornings are a chaotic quest for parents, too. Between the rush to get out the door and tightening household budgets due to rising costs, school breakfast serves as a critical support system that saves families money and time.

Momentum Continues to Build for Healthy School Meals for All
Nine states are implementing policies that offer school meals to all students at no charge, regardless of household income. Is yours? Tell Congress to make this a nationwide policy.
Schools Should Adopt CEP
If your school or school district is eligible, adopt CEP now. It’s a win for students, families, staff, and communities.
Reverse Harmful SNAP Cuts
Oppose SNAP cuts — keep kids fed. When families lose access to SNAP, their children could also lose access to school meals. The Restoring Food Security for American Families and Farmers Act would repeal the cuts. Urge your members of Congress to cosponsor this essential bill.
