at schools where high percentages of students qualify for free or reduced-price breakfast and lunch.
This year, the pandemic-era waivers aren't available and Utah is already beginning to see the impacts.–Neil Rickard, Utahns Against Hunger Additionally, the Community Eligibility Provision was established by the Department of Agriculture and provides federal funding for meals to schools that have a certain percentage of students who qualify for free or reduced-price meals. Rickard noted that there are a number of Utah schools that utilize the provision.
"We would absolutely support that but I think Utah, probably, the political atmosphere has a little ways to go on that," Rickard said. "As we see other states picking it up and as we see it succeeding in other states — because there are benefits to reap from it — we're optimistic that we can see a lot more support here in Utah, also."
