Join the Coalition
Join the School Meals for All NC coalition and be part of the movement to ensure every child in North Carolina has access to no-cost, nutritious meals at school—no questions asked. By joining the School Meals for All NC Coalition, you’re adding your voice to a growing network of parents, educators, health professionals, organizations, and community leaders advocating for change.
Our coalition meets regularly via Zoom and we have some in-person opportunities to connect, learn, and share our stories. Together, we can help ensure that no child goes hungry at school.
There is no membership fee to join the coalition — participation is open to anyone who supports our mission. Donations are always appreciated and help sustain our advocacy and outreach efforts.
No child should go hungry at school.
School Meals for All NC is powered by a mighty coalition of changemakers. Co-led by the North Carolina Alliance for Health, The Center for Black Health & Equity, Carolina Hunger Initiative, and A Better Chance, A Better Community, we bring together partners from all corners of North Carolina. From classrooms to congregations, farms to food banks, and businesses to boardrooms—we’re united in one mission: ensuring every child has access to healthy, no-cost school meals. We know that our food system works best when every part is supported, from farms to families to school cafeterias.
No-cost school meals are not a mandate. Students aren’t required to eat school meals. No-cost school meals ensure every child has the same chance to start the day with a full stomach and a fair shot at success.
