Breakfast Equipment Grants Available to Schools!

Back-to-School is just around the corner and F3 wants to ensure that more students will have the opportunity to eat breakfast at school this upcoming school year.

The Healthy Breakfast-4-Kids (HB4K) goal is to create and improve access to breakfast in schools nationwide as a means to lessen the huge negative impact of hungry children across our nation. In 2012 Food Family Farming Foundation (F3) and Walmart Foundation are partnering to grant 117 $2500 equipment grants to high needs schools for the purpose of implementing universal breakfast in the classroom programs. Grant awardees will be able to order $2500 worth of food service smallwares or equipment for establishing universal breakfast programs via an online order with our partner Tundra Specialties. F3 has created  a breakfast  resources section  available to all schools via our website, The Lunch Box.

The deadline to apply is September 15, 2012.
