START/END DATE: 5/5/2025 - 5/4/2026

Do you want to make a lasting impact on food security and help low-income students access free, nutritious meals? Join United Way of King County in increasing low-income students’ access to federal meal programs by enhancing technical assistance and available tools for schools and community partners operating these programs across Washington. 

Location: 98104, Seattle

PROGRAM OVERVIEW:

United Way of King County’s vision is to build a community where people have homes, students graduate, and families are financially stable. As part of our work to end poverty, we are committed to ensuring that all children have access to healthy food in the places where they live, learn, and play. 

Consult with schools and community partners to support the implementation and improvement of alternative breakfast models, the Summer Food Service Program, the Seamless Summer Option, and the Child and Adult Care Food Program. Additionally, raise awareness of the Community Eligibility Provision for eligible schools. By helping schools and community partners enhance meal programs, you will ensure more students get the nutritious meals they need, without financial barriers. 

Encourage the adoption of the Community Eligibility Provision, so that schools and community partners can help families allocate resources more effectively while ensuring that students have access to reliable, nutritious meals, which support educational outcomes. 

Key Washington counties for this work include: Chelan, Clark, Cowlitz, Ferry, King, Klickitat, Lewis, Lincoln, Mason, Okanogan, Pierce, Spokane, Stevens, Thurston, and Walla Walla.
