The Birth of the School Lunch Program.pdfPaulClaybrook
The Commodity Donation Program of 1936 marked the first time the government became significantly involved in school lunches. Because crop surpluses are harmful to respective commodity prices, the act attempted to eliminate them by allotting excesses, in the form of lunches, to underprivileged school children1. However, many school boards did not espouse the program. They were unwilling to invest in equipment and expansion for a program that was not certain to continue. Additionally, food donation from the government fluctuated with commodity surpluses2. So the 79th Congress considered a legislative proposal to make the Commodity Donation Program permanent. It was signed into law as the National School Lunch Bill1.

• Five local organizations commit to

Douglas County Health Department has been
implementing Healthy Neighborhood Food
Stores throughout the Omaha metro. At these
stores, they are educating and encouraging
those with SNAP benefits on how to buy and
afford healthier food options.
Creighton Financial Hope Collaborative teaches clients
financial skills that increase their chances of getting out of
poverty and becoming more food secure. Topics include:
budgeting; debt consolidation; level payment plans for
utilities; and much more.
Omaha Public Schools has been making efforts to
encourage schools across the district to participate in
alternative breakfast models. Statistics show that many
students do not receive breakfast at home, and avoid
eating at school due to the stigmatization they receive.
By providing alternative breakfast options, students
receive a meal and perform better in the classroom.
The Hunger Collaborative is composed of three
different pantries that offer services to clients as well
as food. The three pantries are Heartland Hope
Mission, Together Inc., and Heart Ministry Center.
Food Bank for the Heartland is the main sponsor for
child food programs such as: Summer Meals Feeding
Sites; After School At-Risk Meals; and the Back Pack
Program. The Food Bank also oversees the statewide
SNAP outreach efforts and is the main distributor of
food to the Hunger Collaborative pantries.
