National School Breakfast Program

The National School Breakfast Program is a federal initiative that provides free or low-cost breakfast to students in participating schools. Its goal is to ensure children start their day with a nutritious meal, supporting improved concentration, energy, and academic performance. Schools receive funding to offer breakfast options before classes begin, helping reduce hunger and establish healthy eating habits. The program is part of broader efforts to promote student health and educational success, especially for low-income families. It operates nationwide, making sure students have access to a healthy breakfast regardless of their economic background.
