Our children’s focus when attending school is to get their education and learn, not where their next meal is coming from or how to pay for it. We want to make sure more kids can enjoy a decent school lunch every day.

Approximately 25 million kids at public schools do NOT qualify for a free lunch.  Kids with unpaid school lunch balances get a lousy baloney sandwich for lunch or they go without a meal in many cases, particularly the older kids.  And 70% of school districts have significant unpaid school lunch balances, especially here in the Las Vegas Valley.  Many school districts will not promote a child to the next school grade with unpaid lunch debt. That is not fair and that’s not the child’s fault. This adds up to a lot of kids!

That is why we founded our Emergency School Lunch Funds as well.  We raise funds to setup emergency lunch funds at public schools across America so if a student does not have money that day our fund pays for their meal.  We prefer both options because emergency lunch funds are the discretion of the School Principal. Paying down lunch debt is at our discretion. Unlike other fundraisers addressing this issue, we focus in our community and operate at a national level.
