A provision of the 2010 Hunger-Free Kids Act allows schools that have a 40% or higher ratio of students that receive or qualify for free lunch to eat breakfast and lunch for free. Currently 350 out of 700 schools that qualify in South Carolina participate including all schools in Richland School District One. End Child Hunger SC has established a workgroup in partnership with SC Appleseed to encourage the remaining schools that qualify for the Community Eligibility Provision to opt-in.
