🍎 CLARKE COUNTY NUTRITION ALLIANCE 🍎

A Community Commitment to Student Well-Being

No student should go hungry.

Every child deserves access to nutritious meals so they can learn, grow, and succeed.

The Clarke County Nutrition Alliance (CCNA) was established to ensure that financial hardship never prevents a Clarke County Public Schools student from receiving healthy school meals.

Why is this needed?

Clarke County is a close-knit rural community where neighbors care for one another. While our schools continue to provide outstanding educational opportunities, changes in state and federal funding have created new challenges in supporting student nutrition.

Recent changes to the County's Composite Price Index (CPI), along with reductions in USDA nutrition funding, have left gaps in meal assistance programs. As a result, some families who need help no longer qualify for existing assistance.

The Clarke County Nutrition Alliance was created to bridge that gap.

Our Mission

The Clarke County Nutrition Alliance exists to ensure that every Clarke County Public Schools student has access to nutritious meals—regardless of temporary financial hardship or changing eligibility requirements.

No child should worry about whether they can afford breakfast or lunch.
