Hunger Doesn’t Take A Summer Vacation
School’s out for the summer! No more classes, homework, or tests. However, for some students, when school is out, that means no more guaranteed meals.
When school is out for summer vacation, many children lose access to free and reduced meals they rely on during the school year. The Idaho Foodbank’s Picnic in the Park Program is a summer feeding program that fills this nutritional gap for the summer.
I just really like free lunch because there are usually good things to eat like the turkey sandwiches and fruit and juice. I like that it’s by the play camp at Winstead so we don’t have to walk very far.
