Cultivating Scalable Solutions to End Hunger

We believe a world without hunger is possible. Our collective impact approach allows us to pioneer research, to test and evaluate innovative models for ending hunger, and to collaborate with leaders to scale those ideas for maximum impact.

The Baylor Collaborative believes the ability to access and understand school meal data is a key contributing factor to implementing successful hunger interventions. We are proud to announce the launch of our new School Meals Dashboard for Texas Counties!

Our Hunger Data Lab team has worked tirelessly over the past several months to bring to you an online, interactive hunger data tool made with you in mind.
