Policy Landscape and Our Work
Georgia is the 8th most populous state, with a K-12 enrollment of 1.69m students. According to Feeding America’s report on hunger, throughout the state of Georgia, 1 in 5 children experience food insecurity, impacting academic success, mental focus, and health outcomes.
In 2023, HB 510, a bill that would have provided free school meals to all students in Georgia, passed in both chambers of the legislature before it was vetoed by the governor.
