Most of y’all know that for a year or two my only meals were my kids’ scraps. Times were tough.
But free lunches at school guarantees access for hungry children to a good meal.

It helps them grow.
It helps them stay healthy.
These are the things Project 2025 wants to destroy.

Project 2025 would reduce the number of free school lunches for hungry kids.
They sneeringly call summer meals for hungry kids "a federal catering program."

![Two panels from a Stop Project 2025 comic
Panel 2
The red suited figures pick up the lunch trays, taking them away from the children. A boy is still staring at his spoon full of goop, while a girl turns around in shock as her lunch is stolen.
MAN IN SUIT: On second thought…
GIRL: Hey!
CAPTION: Reduce of the number of free school lunches.
CAPTION: The Community Eligibility Program (CEP) “allows schools or school districts with high rates of poverty to offer meals to all students without having to qualify each student individually.”*
CAPTION: Project 2025 states “Congress should eliminate CEP.” [2025, p 303]

Panel 3
We look over the shoulder of a red suited figure who is pointing at some kids lined up outside a school. The kids look shocked and hungry, and they are clutching empty lunch trays.
CAPTION: Eliminate summer meals for many kids.
MAN IN SUIT: Scram!
CAPTION: Furthermore, Project 2025 says “the USDA should not provide meals to students during the summer unless students are taking summer-school classes.”
CAPTION: They call summer meals for hungry kids “a federal catering program.” [2025, p 303]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:j53elsjlcag3iuran5ezcy32/bafkreie3fg3kim367kdw7ph4y6rxp5t57zzyzjk232rxxvnvyzpw5mriaq@jpeg)
