Nourishing Champions is a collaboration between Champions of Change and Safeway that provides funding for after-school snacks and meals for student athletes in Washington State.
At least $500,000 will be awarded to selected high schools throughout the state of Washington for the ’26-’27 school year. The average award amount will be between $15,000 and $25,000.
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.
