The Lunch 4 Learning Campaign is the campaign for universal free school lunch in all New York City Public Schools. Universal free and healthy schools meals eliminated the poverty stigma asociated with school lunch and gets more students eating. This will have a far reaching city-wide impact on childhood hunger, public health and educational outcomes.
