Access to proper nutrition impacts student athletes’ ability to play. With nearly 50% of students in the state of Washington on free and reduced lunches, there remains a gap in equity. It’s essential that the availability of adequate food and hydration matches the demands of athletic activities.
Nourishing Champions is a collaboration between Champions of Change and Safeway that aims to address this gap by providing funding for nutritious snacks and meals for high school sports teams in Washington State. 26 schools from across the state of Washington were awarded $500,000 in grant awards ranging between $15,000-$25,000 for the ’24-’25 school year.
Congratulations to our 2024 awarded schools!
