MADISON, WI — Earlier this week, Governor Tony Evers released the state’s budget proposal for FY2024, which includes funding for healthy school meals for all. The following is a statement from Jason Gromley, senior director of government relations and advocacy, No Kid Hungry.
“We applaud Governor Evers for crafting a budget that recognizes the importance of healthy school meals for all Wisconsin kids. School meals are a critical tool to combat hunger and an important resource for families struggling to make ends meet. Ensuring every child facing hunger can easily access a no cost meal is not just the right thing to do, but also a wise investment in our next generation.”
