Start Your Engines

Everyone knows that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Research shows that eating breakfast helps kids grow up healthy and strong and do better in school. What most people don’t know is that nationally, millions of children go to school hungry each day.

A program of the Fitness Challenge Foundation, Start Your Engines is a community partnership working to ensure that every child, regardless of background, starts the day with a nutritious breakfast. Through education, advocacy and outreach, Start Your Engines is helping more kids learn, grow and develop to their fullest potential.

The need
More than 70% of students in San Bernardino County are eligible but NOT getting free or reduced price school breakfast at school.
