HUNGER FREE COLORADO

Organizing: the healthy school meals for all (hsma) program provides free school meals to all colorado students at participating public schools. The organizing team worked to bring parents and students together with school districts and local food producers to ensure that through hsma, school meals are not only accessible to all students, but also nutritious, locally sourced and appealing. We worked with 1,000 youth, parents, farmers and school nutrition professionals, and organized dozens of listening and education sessions and advocacy trainings to build the infrastructure for shaping meals that are nutritious, culturally relevant and what parents and students want and need to be healthy.
