Pennsylvania Continues Universal Free School Breakfast Program for Fourth Year

Governor Josh Shapiro's 2026-27 budget includes funding for universal free school breakfast for a fourth consecutive year, ensuring that Pennsylvania's 1.7 million students continue to receive free breakfast at school regardless of income. This initiative aims to help students start their day with a healthy meal, building on the nearly 93 million breakfasts served to students in Pennsylvania schools during the 2024-25 school year.
