FRAC’s report looks at food insecurity in the wake of COVID-19.

The Pandemic Child Hunger Prevention Act would provide free breakfast and lunch to all students attending schools that participate in the School Breakfast Program (SBP) and the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) during the 2020–2021 school year.

The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), a federal nutrition program, is widely recognized as an important safeguard for protecting and improving the health and nutrition of low-income mothers and children.

The critical role that breakfast plays in
children’s overall well-being does not end when the
school year does.

FRAC has developed a communications toolkit to help you spread the word about the benefits of summer nutrition programs.

This communications toolkit for the Southern Poverty Report 2020 highlights key findings and ways to share the word!

The need to expand the reach of the Summer
Nutrition Programs is more important than ever as
communities continue to respond to COVID-19’s
impacts on food security, education, and the economy.

As states and school districts start to plan and prepare for when school begins, it is critical to think about what changes should be made to meal service to protect students and staff. The Centers For Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Guidance for K-12 Schools and Child Care Programs to Plan, Prepare, and Respond to Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) recommends that school districts ensure students have continued access to meals and that the distribution of meals takes place in a setting that maximizes physical distance.

The Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) allows more than 30,000 high poverty schools across the country to offer breakfast and lunch at no charge to all students while eliminating the traditional school meal process and is a smart choice for eligible schools.

Community eligibility allows high-needs schools and districts to meet the nutritional needs of the many low-income families they serve. As the nation struggles to recover from the economic impact of COVID-19, community eligibility offers an important opportunity for schools to respond to the increased need among their students.

Food insecurity, and its root cause, poverty, do not discriminate: they harm individuals, families, and communities across the U.S., regardless of demographics. One group that rarely receives attention for its alarmingly high levels of food insecurity and poverty is Asian Pacific American (APA). This oversight is detrimental for APA people and the nation as a whole.
