🍎 Every child deserves access to healthy school meals that fuel learning, growth, and the opportunity to reach their full potential—during Hunger Action Month and all year long.

In her recent Impact Network Podcast interview powered by Colossal, GENYOUth CEO Ann Marie Stazenski Krautheim highlighted the vital role schools play in fueling students for success—and the barriers that can stand between a child and the healthy breakfast they need to start the day ready to learn.

GENYOUth is helping schools remove barriers to school breakfast by providing equipment and resources that make meals more accessible—whether students are getting off the bus, are in the classroom, or gathering in common areas. When breakfast is easier to access, more students can start their day nourished, focused, and ready to learn.💚
