We must support Universal School Meals in DC!

All DC kids should have access to healthy meals so that they can be fed for success. Unfortunately, there are kids in DC schools who don’t have access to healthy breakfast or lunch. That’s why we must support Universal School Meals.

This common-sense policy would ensure that every public and charter school student in the District can receive breakfast, lunch, and after-school snacks at no cost.

When students receive healthy school meals throughout the day, they are better fueled for learning, which can lead to better academic performance, behavior, and health outcomes. District kids should be fed for success, so they have the right start to long term health and well-being.

We must support and fund Universal Free School Meals and make sure all kids in the District have access to nutritious food throughout the day.
