FREE MEALS HELP LOCAL KIDS THIS SUMMER

During summer break, some disadvantaged children miss meals they depend on at school.  

The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) ensures that low-income children continue to receive nutritious meals at Summer Break Spots when school is not in session.

This summer the USDA program plans to serve over 200 million free meals to kids 18 years and younger.  The area’s Summer Break Spots serving the free meals to help close the  childhood hunger gap include:
