Feeding the Future

What’s the biggest barrier to universal free breakfast?

This week, we explored how free breakfast in early childhood education does more than feed children;  it fuels learning.

 The research is clear: universal breakfast programs improve attendance, behavior, and focus, while reducing stigma and hunger.

Yet implementation remains uneven. Some schools thrive with breakfast-in-the-classroom models, while others struggle with funding or logistics.

I’d love to hear from you: What’s the greatest challenge your school or organization faces when trying to make breakfast free and accessible for all students?

Poll Question:

What’s the biggest barrier to universal free breakfast?

  •  Funding & budget limits

  •  Staffing & logistics

  •  Policy & compliance rules

  •  Cultural or parental buy-in

Your experiences and insights can help shape better policies and stronger programs for our youngest learners.
