Governor Shapiro Highlights Universal Free Breakfast Proposal for Pennsylvania Students in Visit to Montgomery County Elementary School
Press Release
Issues: Education
"We can't expect our kids to pay attention in class, learn, and succeed if they haven't eaten all day -- and that's why I want to give free breakfast to every child in our schools. More than 325,000 children across the Commonwealth -- including more than 10,000 kids in Montgomery County alone -- were food insecure in 2021. My budget would devote dedicated funding to making universal free breakfast a reality for the first time ever, because our children deserve a safe, healthy learning environment no matter what zip code they live in or how much their parents make."
