Thanks to your support, we are one step closer to hunger free schools in California! Yesterday, SB 138 (McGuire) passed out of Senate Appropriations Committee with a unanimous, bipartisan 7-0 vote! 

SB 138 would more effectively identify low-income students and increase access to school meals by ensuring that the Department of Education and school districts identify students eligible for free and reduced-price school meals with verified Medi-Cal income data and by calling for very high poverty schools to serve breakfast and lunch free of charge to all students.

ACT NOW TO LET YOUR SENATORS KNOW YOU SUPPORT SB 138!

Yesterday,  Senate Appropriations passed SB 782 (Skinner) with a unanimous, bi-partisan vote. SB 782 would establish a grant program to incentivize public schools to serve more California-grown food in freshly prepared school meals. CFPA and our partners, NextGen, are grateful for your support of California-grown food in freshly made school meals.

Thanks to your action, SB 782 now heads to the Senate Floor, with a vote expected on Tuesday, May 30. Organizations spanning representation from education to agriculture and health to anti-hunger came together to encourage the state to incentivize school districts to buy fresh, California-grown ingredients.
