Governor Matt Bevin announced Tuesday that the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices has selected Kentucky as one of only 10 states to participate in a learning lab on state strategies to reduce childhood hunger. Through participation in the learning lab, state teams will examine leverages on public-private partnerships to ensure school age children have regular access to healthy meals and increased participation in child nutrition programs. They will discuss strategies such as communication and collaborating to reduce hunger, expanding access to school breakfast, supporting innovation in summer meal programs, and streamlining eligibility determination for free meals.
