As the school year is winding down and many families are making vacation plans,
we must not forget that hunger does not take a vacation. In fact, it can be more
serious during the summer months when children do not receive school meals
and families struggle to serve healthy meals to growing children.
The Summer Meals program, sponsored by the USDA and administered in PA by
the PA Department of Education, is a valuable resource. It is not too late to become
a summer meals site. Most sections of Philadelphia qualify and some suburban towns
qualify, as well. For more information, contact Nutritional Development Services at
215-895-3470.
Future posts will provide information on how to find the site nearest to you!
