Every child deserves access to nutritious meals at school – regardless of their family’s income.
✅ LB14, the Hunger-Free Schools Act, would offer no-cost meals to ALL of Nebraska’s school children. By making breakfast and lunch free for all students, we can eliminate stigma, improve learning outcomes, and support families struggling with rising costs.
We need your voice to ensure that senators know Nebraskans support our kids!
