The National League of Cities (NLC) has launched its second round of their Cities Combating Hunger through Afterschool and Summer Meal Programs (CHAMPS) initiative by selecting 21 cities to participate in two regional Leadership Academies that will help them leverage federal funding to reduce childhood hunger. The city of Rochester has been selected as one of the cities under this CHAMPS initiative, designed to help the city increase the number of children receiving healthy meals through the Afterschool Meal Program and the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP). NLC's Institute for Youth, Education, and Families and the Food Research and Action Center (FRAC) have partnered on this initiative through a generous grant from the Walmart Foundation.
