Between deployments, PCS moves and everyday life, military families carry a lot. The National School Lunch Program helps lighten that load, giving your kids healthy meals at school so you have one less thing to worry about.
Host Bruce Moody speaks with Amy Maclosky, school nutrition director at Arlington County Public Schools in Virginia and a retired military spouse. They unpack how school lunch programs help families nutritionally and financially — and how this long-standing program plays a critical role in keeping military families strong and mission ready.
