Hopkins Schools Selected for Breakfast Challenge

The challenge gives schools money for increasing the number of school breakfasts served to free-and reduced-price eligible children.

Hunger-Free Minnesota has selected Alice Smith and Eisenhower elementary schools as two of the 40 schools to participate in its School Breakfast Challenge.

The challenge encourages schools to boost the number of school breakfast meals served to free-and reduced-price eligible children. Hunger-Free Minnesota will give schools 10 cents per meal for each additional meal served in the 2013-14 school year compared to the previous year.

The effort is taking place because there is widespread under-utilization of free and reduced-cost meals from the Minnesota School Breakfast Program. Overall usage is only 40 percent.
