Feed NH Kids

We believe that every child in New Hampshire deserves the chance to succeed. To thrive in the classroom, students need more than just books and desks; they need the fuel to learn. A hungry child cannot focus, solve problems, or grow to their full potential.

School Breakfast

Why Breakfast Matters

School breakfast is a critical educational tool. When children start the day with a healthy meal, they have better attendance, higher test scores, and fewer visits to the school nurse.

However, traditional breakfast models—where students must arrive early to eat in the cafeteria—often fail our kids. Bus delays, late arrivals, and the stigma of being seen as a student who needs help often keep children away from the cafeteria. Currently, New Hampshire is 46th in the nation in school breakfast participation—fewer than half the children who receive free or reduced lunch at school are participating in breakfast—but NH Hunger Solutions is working hard to change that.

Join The NH School Breakfast Challenge

The School Breakfast Challenge is our initiative to make sure no child in New Hampshire goes hungry at school. We help schools move breakfast out of the early-morning cafeteria and into the school day through a model called Breakfast After the Bell.

By using strategies like Grab and Go carts in the hallways or Breakfast in the Classroom, we make nutrition a seamless and inclusive part of the morning for every student.

Sponsor Our Work with Schools:
Invest in New Hampshire’s Future

We cannot close the breakfast gap alone. While our technical expertise provides the roadmap, it is the generosity of our partners that fuels the engine. By sponsoring the School Breakfast Challenge, you aren’t just donating to a program—you are directly investing in the cognitive development, health, and long-term success of New Hampshire’s children.

Every dollar helps us provide the hands-on guidance schools need to unlock millions in federal funding and, most importantly, feed thousands of students who would otherwise start their day hungry.

"Investing in school breakfast is one of the most cost-effective ways to improve educational outcomes. When we feed a child, we fuel a future."
