At the current $7.5 million funding level, there are more than 120 eligible schools that could benefit from MMFA that are left out of the program, and this additional investment will ensure many more schools can participate. The following is a statement from <strong>No Kid Hungry Maryland Director Ayesha Holmes<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cMaryland Meals for Achievement has a proven track record of ensuring school breakfast reaches the students who need it most, ensuring they can start each day fueled to learn. Right now, families are facing shockingly high prices at the grocery store, at the same time that pandemic-era benefits have disappeared, making access to nutritious school meals more important than ever in the fight against childhood hunger.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe applaud Delegate Solomon and the entire Maryland House for this investment to ensure every eligible school can opt into MMFA and provide students with a nutritious morning meal, and we encourage Governor Moore to sign this into law.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Contact: Johanna Elsemore at jelsemore@strength.org &nbsp;
