Kids' Backpack Meals Change a Child's Daily Outcome Through a Nutritious Meal

Every day, millions of kids around the world go to school on empty stomachs. For many, a school meal is the only food they have each day.

Did you know a daily nutritious meal can change the educational outcome of a child? Micronutrients like iron, zinc, choline, iodine, folate, B12, and healthy fats are vital to cognitive development and learning. The right balance of nutrients during the early stages of life is critical for brain development, promoting cognitive development long into adult years.

“We know that a hungry child cannot learn, a hungry child cannot grow and a hungry child cannot reach their full potential,” says World Food Program USA CEO Baron Segar.
