Quality School Meals That Benefit All

In 2021, California became the first state in the nation to provide free breakfast and lunch to all K–12 students. Now we're building on that historic achievement with vital investments for school food infrastructure, staff training, and more freshly prepared California-grown school meals.

Our Partners

The School Meals For All Coalition consists of more than 100 organizations representing education, health and agriculture. We advocate for investments in school meals that fight child hunger, and support rural/agricultural communities. We seek to help mitigate climate change, strengthen regional school food supply chains, and support school nutrition workers.
