The Iowa Nutrition Network School Grant Program provides funding to agencies who wish to provide nutrition education to schools where 60% or more of the students qualify for free and reduced price meals. The goal of the program is to provide educational programs that increase the likelihood that low-resource audiences can make healthy food choices consistent with USDA’s MyPlate. To meet this goal, the Iowa Nutrition Network provides traditional nutrition education resources combined with unique social marketing strategies.
