The CARES Act was signed in 2020 providing more than $2.2 trillion in funding with a specific focus on relieving the economic pressure on Americans struggling during the COVID-19 pandemic. The most recent legislation passed in December 2020 provided each state with a portion of the $54.3 billion, in federal relief funds, that was specifically earmarked to K-12 schools for the purposes of aiding in the reopening of schools for in-person learning. The assistance provided to the K-12 schools was made available in the form of grant money. SEAs (State Educational Agencies) and LEAs (Local Educational Agencies) were targeted as the recipients of the CARES Act federal funding and were tasked with the distribution of grant funds.
There are a lot of grants available for schools to help fund new equipment or provide for additional methods of caring for students. Many non-profit agencies provide grant funding for K-12 schools. Additionally, other governmental grants, outside of CARES Act funding, are available at the federal, state, and local levels. Requirements, restrictions, and application processes may vary, so be sure to investigate the details for your location.
Virtually any school across the country can make use of extra funding opportunities. When your school is awarded a grant critical funds in your budget are made available for other necessities in or around your campus. Imagine have more money available at your school for books, supplies, general repairs, teacher salaries, and much more. The impact you can make on your community is multiplied by each grant dollar you can claim.

Alternative feeding solutions were gaining in popularity before the COVID pandemic. However, over the past year, finding alternative solutions for feeding students has become a necessity. For many schools the prospect of feeding students in the classroom has become their primary way to support social distancing protocols and limit the possibility of accidental exposure to hazards.
Another popular alternative feeding model is centered around feeding students in the hallway. Our breakfast cart is already an industry leading solution for feeding students. Meals can be individually wrapped, and by utilizing the deep well food can be kept hot or cold throughout your meal service. The hallway feeding model has also been shown to increase participation in meal programs for students who are pressed for time and may not be able to attend more traditional meal programs.
