Tallahassee, Florida <\/b>\u2013 As 2020 draws to a close, No Kid Hungry announced a total of $3.4 million in grants this year to 60 schools and community organ<\/span>izations across the state that are providing free meals for kids during the ongoing pandemic. The investment comes as part of No Kid Hungry\u2019s continuing effort to ensure all children in Florida remain nourished and healthy.<\/span><\/p>

Across America, families are facing unprecedented levels of food insecurity as the coronavirus has led to lost jobs and wages. Right here in Florida, more than 1.1 million kids could face hunger this year, a drastic uptick as a result of the pandemic.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cThe coronavirus has hit our economy hard here in Florida, where so many families rely on the tourism and hospitality industries for their income. With poverty and food insecurity skyrocketing, <\/span>school meals are a critical source of nutrition and comfort for students,\u201d said No Kid Hungry Florida Director Sky Beard. \u201c Schools\u00a0 have\u00a0 remained a cornerstone of our communities, with hard-working nutrition staff constantly adapting and innovating to make sure their programs are reaching kids with meals during this crisis. We\u2019re so proud to support them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

These grants from No Kid Hungry help school districts with the added staffing and equipment costs required to expand and adapt their programs to meet increased need and operate safely under these unprecedented circumstances. Since March, No Kid Hungry has granted to the following schools and nonprofits:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
