In New York City all kids in the public school system qualify for free meals. No questions asked. From Pre-K to 12th grade. I believe this has been going on since 2019. During Covid, since kids could not go to school, all kids (or rather their parents) received some debit cards that could be used to buy food.

Free breakfast and lunch to 100% of students in the state across all grades regardless of income or anything else (first state in the country to do so I believe). It's bizarre to me that this isn't already the standard. India has been successfully doing it for two decades now, and the program now covers 120 million children.
