We will also provide funds to rural communities where schools face unique challenges in addressing hunger.<\/p><h4>Economic and COVID-19 Impact:<\/h4><p>Grant funds wi l l also be provided to communities experiencing economic hardship and having existing or increasingly high COVID-19 infection rates. In determining economic impact, No Kid Hungry will review data points to include: free and reduced eligible students, unemployment rates, child food insecurity rates, and the social vulnerability index score[1].<\/p><h4>Ability to Serve Kids Today and in the Future:<\/h4><p>Taking into consideration equity, economic hardship and COVID-19 impact factors, funds will be prioritized to support school districts with a strong and sustainable plan for maximizing participation in the child nutrition programs and\/or leveraging other programs to combat food insecurity such as emergency food programs and student and family outreach and enrollment.
