School Lunch Community Engagement Programs
The United State's
Department of Agriculture (USDA) is a huge source of assistance in Feeding hungry minds and bodies®.
The USDA has resources to feed all the hungry children while they are in a school setting and over 98% of the schools in Ohio offer lunch to the children.
Two-thirds of a student's nutritional needs are met when the student participates
in both school breakfast and lunch programs.
We are striving to reach
100% school lunch participation among eligible students. Increased school lunch and breakfast participation rates bring millions
of Federal dollars back to Ohio boosting local economies. The School
& Summer Nutrition team is working closely with schools and the Ohio Department of Education Office of
Safety, Health and Nutrition to increase participation in these programs. Everybody wins when we feed hungry
kids!
