A Laser-Focused Strategy On Child Nutrition
Meals for Kids
Childhood hunger is a looming crisis with huge future education and health consequences for Minnesota. But it does not need to happen at all.
Federal nutrition programs and resources already exist to help those living in economic hardship – but they’re significantly under-utilized. That’s true even when children and families quality for the programs.
In March of 2022, Hunger Impact Partners co-sponsored a community building conference for children that featured an array of presentations, videos and other resources.
Hunger Impact Partners implements five precision-focused initiatives to provide more nutritious meals to our kids. These five programs feed infants and children across Minnesota:
- In child care
- At school breakfast
- After school
- During the summer
- In their homes
