June 18, 2012—General Mills Foodservice and the National Dairy Council have announced a grants program designed to help school nutrition operations expand school breakfast. The grants are designed to increase student participation by serving breakfast outside the cafeteria in creative ways.
Grants of up to $2,000 are available to schools enrolled in Fuel Up to Play 60 that are starting a new breakfast program or improving an existing one. Schools and districts starting or improving upon breakfast in the classroom, grab ‘n’ go breakfast, second chance breakfast or another innovative method of serving school breakfast to more students are welcome to apply.
