Every day, students across Washington, DC, go without a proper meal because of unpaid lunch balances. When families fall behind, the debt quietly grows — and for many kids, that means embarrassment, skipped meals, or limited access to the nutritious food they need to focus and thrive.

We believe no child should have to worry about lunch.

That’s why this year, Black at Planet is raising funds to help eliminate student lunch debt across DC Public Schools. Every dollar donated goes directly toward paying off outstanding lunch balances so students can eat with dignity and start their school day ready to learn.

Your donation, big or small, helps ensure that every child is cared for and supported — because a healthy meal shouldn’t be a privilege.

️ $1,000 = roughly 285 meals for students in DC

Funds raised will be sent directly to the DC Public Education Fund (the charitable partner of DC Public Schools) to ensure 100% of proceeds go toward this effort.

Thank you for standing with us to make sure no student is left hungry. ❤️
