NH Hunger Solutions is partnering with UNH Extension and the New England Dairy Council to promote the 2024 School Breakfast Challenge started October 1st, but you can join anytime. NH ranks 47th out of the 50 states for school breakfast participation. Schools can get help increasing participation in breakfast by joining the challenge! Just follow the directions on the flyer above!

School breakfast is important because evidence shows that eating breakfast improves student behavior, health and academic outcomes. All schools joining the challenge are champions by increasing school breakfast participation, and we appreciate everyone's dedication to feeding NH's students. The school with the highest increased participation will be awarded the Elaine VanDyke School Breakfast Champion Award and a press conference can be held at your school to announce the winner.

Grants and support are available through NE Dairy Council and UNH Cooperative Extension.

If you have any questions or would like to join the challenge, please email Karyn Rice.
