It’s that time again! The year is coming to a close, and we’re looking back at the child nutrition policy moments that shaped our year and what we expect in early 2025. Think of this as your school food policy wrapped, where we’ll review our top stories, celebrate new additions, and recap the policy moments (looking at you, Farm Bill) that we can’t get out of our heads.

At FoodCorps, we believe every child deserves a solid start—one where nourishing food fuels their health, education, and sense of belonging. Before the year ends, join us in ensuring children across the country have access to the school food and food education they need to thrive. Together, we can nourish the next generation.
