Policy Landscape and Our Work
Maryland provided free school meals throughout the 2023-2024 school year. In January 2024, HB696 was introduced to allow all students attending schools that participate in the federal School Breakfast Program or the National School Lunch Program to have the option to receive a free meal every day. This bill would require $180 million in funding and, if passed, would go into effect in the fall of 2025.
