Our Mission Project Bread connects people and communities in Massachusetts to reliable sources of food while advocating for policies that make food more accessible—so that no one goes hungry. Breakfast After the Bell Implementation Grant This grant program will support schools in implementing a new or significantly expanded breakfast program strategy. Schools should select this option if they have a clear plan developed, know the alternative breakfast model / BATB strategies they would like to implement and the items they would like to include in their budget, and do not feel they need much consultation support with their program strategy. For the purposes of this grant, a new BATB Program refers to a school starting a BATB model (Breakfast in the Classroom, Grab & Go Breakfast, Second Chance Breakfast, and hybrid combinations of these three models) for the first time.For the purposes of this grant, a significantly expanded BATB Program is defined as: adding new and improved menu items to be served in the BATB program, addition of breakfast service times (such as adding a Second Chance Breakfast time later in the morning), and increasing accessibility of breakfast to students (such as adding service locations outside the cafeteria).
