This is National School Breakfast Week and Pennsylvania residents are being asked to join in a campaign to spotlight the importance of school breakfast.
As part of the annual “Hear the Pennsylvania Crunch!” campaign, residents, organizations, and businesses are encouraged to post a photo or video of themselves around 10 a.m. to social media saying “Happy Crunchin!” and then biting into an apple.
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected thousands of children across the state and the percentage of kids facing food insecurity is expected to continue to increase in the months ahead.
This campaign is hosted by the Feeding Pennsylvania organization with support from Governor Tom Wolf, the PA School Boards Association, and food banks across the state.
