$80 Million in Grants to Improve Nutrition in School Meals
More than $50 million in grants for schools has been invested for new food service equipment that will allow them to continue serving nutritious meals.

School districts can use the funds to purchase upgraded equipment that will support:

Implementing scratch cooking

Establishing or expanding school breakfast

Improving food safety
