A hungry child cannot learn.
It’s a simple truth with profound implications for Ohio’s future. As a former state representative and a lifelong member of our Appalachian community, I’ve seen firsthand how child hunger erodes opportunities and limits potential.
Ensuring that every Ohio child has access to nutritious school meals isn’t just a moral obligation — it’s an economic imperative that strengthens our schools, our workforce and our communities.
Hungry kids aren’t a Republican problem or a Democrat problem. We value every human life in Ohio, and that means the lives of kids who, through no fault of their own, are lacking in adequate nutrition.
