free lunch programs
No-cost school feeding
Free lunch programs are initiatives, typically government-funded, that provide meals at no cost to students from low-income families.
In the United States, the National School Lunch Program is the primary example, determining eligibility based on household income.
The programs aim to ensure children aren't hungry during the school day, which affects learning and development.
