Schools play an important role in providing nutritious meals to children. And while the COVID-19 pandemic, supply-chain disruptions and labor shortages have challenged those efforts, schools and their foods service professionals have been nothing short of heroic in ensuring students are fueled for success. Brigette Hires, director, and Brian Davis, assistant director, with the Ohio Department of Education's Office of Nutrition, join the podcast to discuss those efforts and how the Ohio School Breakfast Challenge is making a difference.
