Urgent Action Needed to Support Healthy School Meals for All!
Healthy School Meals for All is a popular and effective program, but it faces a funding shortfall due to high participation and changes in federal reimbursement rates caused by rising food prices. The Joint Budget Committee of Colorado’s legislature has extended coverage for free breakfast and lunch, but additional revenue, through a referred ballot measure, is needed to prevent future program cuts and ensure the sustainability of free meals. Your voice is crucial – let’s ensure every child has access to nutritious meals at school!
