1pm today: State of 10 Cents a Meal Info Webinar

Partial funding for 10 Cents a Meal was restored in Michigan’s Fiscal Year 2027 School Aid Budget, but questions around administrative funding and funding for non-school sponsors still need to be answered to ensure successful program implementation.

Join CRFS with support from Groundwork Center for Resilient Communities for a "State of 10 Cents a Meal" webinar TODAY, Thursday, August 13, 1-1:30 pm to get informed and learn what "no administrative" funding means, and why that leaves everyone in a place of uncertainty around what is next for the 2026-2027 school year.

When: Thursday, August 13, 1-1:30 pm

Who should join? Educators, farmers, parents, health advocates, and interested community members who want to know more about next steps to successfully implement this proven program.

Please share this invite widely! Ask funders, legislators and folks new and old to join the call so we can leave the meeting with a shared understanding of the state of 10 Cents a Meal in this moment.
