Thank Sponsors of the Nourishing Young Minds Initiative Fund

Fund to feed kids advances in state Legislature! 
The New Jersey Senate Education Committee unanimously approved bill, S-2819, the Nourishing Young Minds Initiative Fund. This initiative would defray the costs of effectively implementing the federal school breakfast and summer meals programs in high-poverty communities, helping to increase the number of low-income children receiving these meals. Because towns are reimbursed based on the number of meals served, this would bring more federal dollars into New Jersey communities to feed hungry kids.  Read the legislation.

Let's thank Sen. Sweeny, Sen. Ruiz, Sen Lesniak, Assemblymen Taliaferro, and Andrzejczak for sponoring this bill that will dedicate state dollars to feed children facing hunger, while bringing more federal dollars back to New Jersey.
