Hear the D.C. Crunch
Wednesday, March 5, 2025

Join D.C. Hunger Solutions in making some noise to celebrate the many benefits of the School Breakfast Program – participate in Hear the D.C. Crunch on Wednesday, March 5, 2025, during National School Breakfast Week.

Sign up here!

All you have to do is:

  • Grab an apple.
  • Take a picture while biting into the apple.
  • Share on social media. Be sure to tag yourself and @DCHunger on Twitter, @DCHungerSolutions on Instagram, and D.C. Hunger Solutions on Facebook.

Want to do more? Here are some ideas to engage students, parents, and teachers:

  • Make sure apples are included on your breakfast menu for March 5, 2025
  • Take a video while participating in the apple crunch and post to your school’s website and social media (remember to tag #HearTheCrunch @dchunger / @dchungersolutions)
  • Invite parents to have breakfast with their child and include them in your Hear the D.C. Crunch! celebration of school breakfast
  • Have teachers incorporate apples and nutrition into their lesson plans. Check out USDA’s resources for apple focused nutrition education
  • While students are enjoying their breakfast, have them color an apple coloring sheet and write about their favorite breakfast items. Coloring sheet available in the Hear the D.C. Crunch Toolkit.
  • Download flyers, graphics, sample social media language, resources for schools, and more from our Hear the D.C. Crunch Toolkit.

@DCHunger is deeply disappointed that full funding is not being implemented for Give SNAP a Raise, eliminating much-needed additional SNAP benefits for individuals and families with low incomes in the District. Read our full statement: https://t.co/FjAxeGD7Aa
