Hunger-Free Schools Ohio

Working to expand free school meals to thousands of Ohio Students.

For decades, study after study has shown that hungry kids can’t learn: Journal of Nutrition (2005), Pediatrics (2001), Archives of Pediatrics (2010), Social Science Research (2011), Journal of Human Resources (2003), Canadian Journal of Psychiatry (2013). #HungerFreeSchoolsOH

30,000 Ohio kids. That’s more than the population of Ashtabula. For $6M in state funds unlocking $24M federally, we can feed 30,000 more Ohio kids—every day. It's like feeding a whole county’s worth of children, for less than repaving a stretch of I-90. #HungerFreeSchoolsOH

One in five Ohio children faces food insecurity. Our coalition is urging lawmakers to release $6M to unlock $24M in federal funds for universal school meals, targeting 30,000 kids in need across rural Ohio, in our suburbs and in our cities. #HungerFreeSchoolOH

Shoutout to Kai for speaking up about the impact of hunger in Ohio schools! No student should have to learn on an empty stomach. It’s time for Ohio lawmakers to expand school meals so every kid has the chance to thrive. #HungerFreeSchoolsOH

We're offering an excellent alternative for Ohio lawmakers to consider that would be a big step toward #HungerFreezeSchoolOH. No child should have to learn on an empty stomach.
