Help Deliver 4 Million Meals

The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) is the world’s largest provider of school meals. School meals are a game changer for children and their families. In the classroom, school meals improve children’s nutrition and help them focus on their lessons. Outside of the classroom, school meals programs strengthen local food systems and economies by providing a market for farmers’ produce.
