NO KID HUNGRY CAMPAIGN
No child should go hungry in America. But 1 in 7 kids will face hunger this year. No Kid Hungry is ending childhood hunger through effective programs that provide kids with the food they need.
This is a problem we know how to solve. No Kid Hungry is a campaign of Share Our Strength, an organization working to end hunger and poverty.
What Do We Do?
• Local, state and Federal advocacy
• Training and technical assistance
• Strategic planning & cross-sector
collaboration
• Grants
• Research & data analysis

THE IMPORTANCE OF
SCHOOL BREAKFAST
4
Sources: Deloitte, Journal of Nutrition, Brandeis
The odds of achieving an above-
average academic performance
can be twice as high for pupils
who eat breakfast, compared
with those who did not.
--CARDIFF UNIVERSITY STUDY
Children who struggle with hunger are
likely to be sick more often, to recover
from illness more slowly, and to be
hospitalized more frequently.
--CHILDREN’S HEALTH WATCH
Children who struggle with hunger
are likely to experience
headaches, stomachaches, colds,
ear infections, and fatigue.
--NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF
HEALTH
Children who regularly do not get
enough nutritious food to eat tend
to have significantly higher levels
of behavioral, emotional and
academic problems, and tend to
be more aggressive and anxious.

Traditional Breakfast in the Cafeteria has challenges…
▪ Bus or carpool does not arrive in time for students to eat before school
▪ Stigma that school breakfast is for low-income students, so students skip breakfast
▪ High School/middle School students may not be hungry first thing in the morning
▪ Cafeteria location may not be convenient for students
▪ Not enough time for students to eat in the morning before class starts
▪ Students would rather socialize with their friends

Breakfast After the Bell:
alternative serving model(s) where breakfast is served after the official start of the school day and students are allowed to eat outside of the cafeteria
❑ Breakfast in the Classroom❑ Grab and Go to the Classroom❑ Second Chance Breakfast

Grab and Go
1
Breakfast is served from one or more central locations, either via carts and kiosks placed in high-traffic areas, or via quick cafeteria line. Students grab their breakfast, take it the classroom or a common area and eat. This model is run by the school cafeteria staff.
13
Second Chance Breakfast
OR
Cafeteria ModelGrab and Go
Breakfast is served between 1st and 2nd periods or during a mid-morning break either via Grab and Go or traditional cafeteria breakfast where they have at least 15 minutes to eat in the cafeteria. School cafeteria staff are responsible for running this model.

Breakfast after the Bell Programs…

✔Set an equitable playing field by ensuring every child can access a nutritious meal – no matter how a student arrives at school, what a student had available at home, or when that student faces hunger in the morning hours.
✔Meet the unique needs of the school building and culture Alternative models are adaptable to meet the unique goals and needs of your school, classroom and students.
✔Bring school breakfast into the school day, so that like lunch, it can be an integral part of school culture and the daily schedule.
