Last year, we shifted USDA school meal guidelines, benefiting 30 million students nationwide. Now, we're building on this success with the Plant-Powered School Meals Pilot Act.
School meals matter for healthy families, farmers, and communities. Unfortunately, because many schools lack plant-based entrees, students with dietary needs or preferences are often left hungry.
At Farm Sanctuary, we believe all students should have the option to choose nutritious foods that align with their values and dietary needs. School meals should be inclusive and supportive of all children—no matter what. This benefits all of us: animals, people, and our planet.
The Plant-Powered School Meals Pilot Act (H.R.5867) will provide much-needed financial support, culinary training, and other assistance to school districts and schools to meet the growing demand for plant-based options.
TAKE ACTION NOW to support healthier, climate-friendly, plant-based food options in schools.
If you know anyone who would be interested in supporting this vital legislation, please forward this email to them so they can take action too!
Thank you for helping to fight for a system that works for all of us. While Big Ag profits from tax-payer funded subsidies, school districts rarely have enough funding in their budgets to support students with various dietary needs. That’s wrong. School meals should support children and families, not factory farms.
