Stand for Children Colorado proudly endorses Propositions LL and MM<\/a> on Colorado ballots this November. These measures work together to ensure that every public school student in Colorado continues to receive free, nutritious meals at schoo<\/strong>l, regardless of their family’s income. Two out of five Colorado families struggle to afford food, and for many children, school meals are the most nutritious food they eat all day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By voting yes on LL and MM, we can continue the successful Healthy School Meals for All program, which currently provides over 600,000 free meals to students daily. Access to nutritious food leads to better attendance, improved focus in the classroom, and stronger graduation rates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These propositions support Colorado farmers and ranchers by funding fresh, local ingredients and increase wages for school nutrition professionals. No child should have to skip lunch or worry about the cost of a meal. Vote yes on Propositions LL and MM to keep our kids fed, healthy, and ready to learn and return your ballot before Tuesday, November 4, 2025. For more information about voting in Colorado, visit the Secretary of State’s website.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
