Be Strong. Be Healthy.
School districts across the state have worked hard and quickly to get food to kids during school closures. The need for equipment to help distribute the food safely, create grab-and-go curbside pick up and mobile delivery has been a challenge for many districts. Action for Healthy Kids is providing Emergency Meal Distribution Equipment Grants to help!  

Who? Districts currently feeding students at school or other sites. 

What? Receive a $1000-$2,000 credit for sites in your district to purchase equipment through Hubert.  
Emergency Meal Distribution Equipment Grants for TX
Equipment could include coolers, insulated bags, carts, packaging and even personal protection equipment.

 ASAP! Grant applications are currently live and will be awarded weekly until all funds are awarded.  No need to wait for a check; within a week of application, you'll receive award notification and be able to place your order.
