When I met with the legislative aid to Ben Chandler in Washington DC he provided me with an interesting document. In this document there is a listing of money allocated to every state from the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, and the total National School Lunch Program from 2009.
In Kentucky:
- 570,758 students participated in the NSLP in 2009
- Kentucky is receiving $5,394,000 in funding from the HHFKA to improve school lunches
Hopefully this funding will help make the school lunches healthier for the students! We can only hope!
