• We envision a New Hampshire where no child experiences hunger

    Imagine that our school meals program functions like a power grid, moving healthy food to kids in school.  Right now, that grid is well-developed in some areas and patchy – or even non-existent in others.

Why is School Breakfast Important?

There is lots of evidence to support that when your child eats a school breakfast they will have better attendance, improved test scores, more stable moods, and can focus more in the classroom. Breakfast changes lives.

For more information on how school breakfast can help your child see the following documents that outline those benefits.

What do we know about school meals in New Hampshire?

Problem

New Hampshire is 47th in school breakfast. Kids who miss breakfast can't focus to learn, miss more school, are sick more often – and are hungry.

Solution

Implement Breakfast after the Bell:

  • Grab & Go
  • Breakfast in the Classroom
  • Second Chance Breakfast
  • Breakfast "nudges" from teachers to increase participation

Impact

Children's health, well-being and education are better. Food insecurity as an adult is reduced. New Hampshire feeds more kids and brings in over $1.5 million dollars annually.

What is New Hampshire Hunger Solutions Doing?

NHHS is working to:

  • Increase participation in school breakfast by working with school districts to implement evidence-based “Breakfast after the Bell” approaches
  • Encourage implementation of Medicaid Direct Certification 

We advocate to end food insecurity, improve access to nutritious food, and address hunger’s root causes
for all New Hampshire residents.  Your donations keep us going strong.
