Policy Landscape and Our Work
In Spring 2023, Illinois passed the Healthy School Meals for All bill, which provides free breakfast and lunch for all students, however the bill did not receive the necessary funding to make it a reality.
The General Assembly must include a $209M appropriation in the Spring 2024 legislative session to fund school meals for all kids in the FY2025 budget.
