Key Strategies to Expand Community Eligibility

Sunday, May 7, 2023
3:00 PM - 4:05 PM ET
Session Summary: As schools transition back to normal school nutrition operations with the end of pandemic-era waivers and as momentum for Healthy School Meals for All grows across the country, implementing the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) is a key strategy for schools in high-poverty areas to provide free breakfast and lunch to all students without collecting school meal applications. Join us as we hear from state advocates who have successfully implemented advocacy and legislative strategies to expand participation in Community Eligibility in their states, as well as experts from USDA and FRAC as they discuss tools to help with community eligibility adoption.

Learning Objectives:

  • Basics of community eligibility
  • State advocacy and legislation best practices
  • Tools and resources to help with CEP implementation
