The K-12 top stories on food-management.com this month was, Back to School: K-12 meal programs face financial, operational challenges. Last fall’s Supply Chain Survey from the School Nutrition Association (SNA) found 98% of responding school meal programs saying they struggled with product shortages, 97% with rising costs and 95% with labor shortages. Unfortunately, things don’t look much better for this fall either, at least according to the recent “Staying Afloat in a Perfect Storm” report from SNA, the School Nutrition Foundation (SNF) and No Kid Hungry. It details insights from a series of listening sessions with 274 school meal program operators, K-12 industry representatives and State Agency officials hosted in May by SNA and SNF with support from Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry campaign.
