At KIPP Chicago, we know that when our students’ basic needs aren’t met, it’s impossible for them to focus on learning. You can’t focus on reading, math, creating joy, or discovery when you’re hungry. Across Chicago, 1 in 5 households with children experience food insecurity, and with the disruption of SNAP benefits, this number will continue to rise.

Investing in food access is one of the most effective ways to support academic success. When basic needs are met, students and families can focus on learning.
