Our kids are worth it
Join us in the fight for healthy school meals for ALL Wisconsin kids!
Why School Meals Matter
A strong school meal program shows our commitment to children's health, allowing children to focus on school and gain the skills and knowledge needed to be college and career ready.
Community investment in healthy school meals pays back. It improves children’s health and educational outcomes, reduces stigma, puts all kids on an equal playing field, saves families time and money, and supports Wisconsin’s workforce, farmers and local food economies.
Improves health & educational outcomes
It’s a no-brainer that when students get consistent, nutritious meals, they have more energy, more focus, and more curiosity in the classroom.
Reduce stigma and improves equity
When all students have equal access to the same nutritious meal, the cafeteria becomes a place of bonding and refueling instead of stigma and shame.
Saves families time and money
No more rushed mornings spent packing lunch boxes when school meals are available to all at no charge.
Supports Wisconsin’s workforce, farmers and local food economies
Increased participation means greater demand for fresh, local ingredients and more jobs to serve hungry students.
What is Healthy School Meals for All?
Healthy School Meals for All means making school breakfast and lunch available to all Wisconsin K-12 students at no charge. School meals would be treated the same as text books, gym equipment, or library books - as an important resource to support learning and development.
To make Healthy School Meals for All a reality, the State of Wisconsin will need to take action, either by approving a program in our State Budget, or by passing a bill through our State Legislature.
Investments in school nutrition programs, like Healthy School Meals for All Wisconsin, have the opportunity to provide so much for Wisconsin
YOU can have a voice in how our State spends our money. The Healthy School Meals for All coalition will make our voices heard so our elected officials understand the value of providing school meals at no charge.
