Various school districts across the U.S. are implementing initiatives to provide free meals to students amid ongoing challenges. Dallas ISD continues its At-Risk Afterschool Meals program for the 2024-2025 school year, ensuring students in afterschool programs receive nutritious snacks or meals. Meanwhile, Brunswick County Schools are offering free to-go meals for children under 18 due to recent storm impacts, with remote learning planned for the following week. The Dare County Board of Education has approved temporary free meals for all students after a public outcry regarding meal service policies, with plans to assess costs and funding for the remainder of the school year. Additionally, Raymond-Knowles Union Elementary School District will provide free breakfast and lunch to all students under the Community Eligibility Program. These initiatives reflect a growing recognition of the importance of nutrition in supporting student well-being and academic success.
