Fundraising For Cancer

Oct. 12 marks the start of National School Lunch Week, and to celebrate, the Kids’ Safe and Healthful Foods Project released a statewide poll of Louisiana voters about school nutrition standards and related fundraising policies. The research reveals strong support for current national nutrition guidelines and clear preferences for school fundraisers that promote health. About 3 in 4 Pelican State voters with children in public schools favor the school meal and snack nutrition standards, and the majority of parents support fundraising that doesn’t involve the sale of food during the school day.
