School nutrition programs across the country are facing an imminent crisis as federal funding is reduced, food costs soar, products are increasingly unavailable, and meal requirements become unachievable. Because of this perfect storm, school meal programs already in the red are in serious peril. SNA, and the millions of children that rely on school meals, need your voice!
BACKGROUND:
In February, when the USDA issued a Final Rule for meal pattern requirements for school years 2022-23 and 2023-24, it indicated it would extend waivers for schools unable to meet them. However, Congress failed to give USDA the authority to extend the waivers which expire in June.
Take action today in support of SNA's comments and to urge USDA and legislators to ease rules for schools battling heightening disruptions. Comments are due by 11:59 PM, tomorrow, March 24th.

Britton-Hecla School is asking that our families TAKE ACTION and help the school district to continue providing free meals for all families. Food chain supply issues are continuing to disrupt meal planning and distribution. Please help us by contacting our Legislatures to encourage them to continue to pass the necessary waivers to offer free meals to all students.
Visit www.schoolnutrition.org/takeaction and click the Take Action button as you see in the picture attached to this live feed. Fill out the necessary fields and follow the steps. It only takes a couple of minutes to do.
Thank you for your help!
