A new FRAC report finds that more schools are using the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) to offer free school breakfast and lunch to all students, helping reduce hunger, support learning, and ease financial strain on families. The report also warns that recent SNAP cuts could make it harder for schools to qualify for and sustain CEP, threatening gains in access to healthy school meals.
