Heading into the "new normal" doesn't eliminate an urgent need for solutions to end student hunger. Hunger disproportionately impacts children from low income and minority families. The USDA recently extended universal school meals through the 2021-22 school year, allowing schools to provide safe, healthy meals FREE OF CHARGE to ALL students regardless of household income as the pandemic continues to threaten the food and nutrition security of our most vulnerable.
Schools urgently need additional funding to cover school meal delivery resources and equipment that schools aren't funded or budgeted for.

Since GENYOUth's inception almost a decade ago, the non-profit has provided $100 million in grants and equipment to schools. With GENYOUth's extensive network of schools, through its flagship program, Fuel Up to Play 60, and with the help of generous donors, an immediate and substantial impact can be made to support U.S. school communities during this unprecedented time. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, over $12MM in grants have been distributed to 9,000+ schools across the country.
