Mission Statement
The Pennsylvania Cancel Lunch Debt Coalition seeks to eradicate school meal debt and the system that perpetuates it. Students accumulate lunch debt by receiving meals at school that they are unable to pay for. Regardless of why students cannot afford school meals, they deserve to eat without feeling the crushing weight of debt. Until school meals are available for all regardless of household income, lunch debt will continue to exist. We seek complete cancellation of this unjust debt and fight for universal school meals to prevent students from accruing it in the future.

We Demand
We Demand
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania must eliminate school meal debt for all public school students and ensure there is no way for re-accrual by implementing universal school meals. Public education is compulsory and should not cost us anything. We demand a debt-free education in all forms and refuse to allow the concept of debt to be normalized for children.
