The Summer Feeding Program is Back!

For most kids summer is a time to relax and have fun. For some kids however, summer is a time of worry and rumbling tummies as they no longer have access to the breakfast and lunch programs at their schools. For many hungry children, the meals they receive at school are the only things they will eat during the day, so when summer rolls around they aren't sure where their next meal will come from. That's where the Summer Feeding Program comes in. The Summer Feeding Program is a national program that provides breakfast and lunch to kids 18 and under Monday through Friday during the summer. Meals are delivered to local sites in the community. The program runs from June 10th through August 9th. The Food Bank is proud to be partnering once again with Meals on Wheels of Northwest Indiana to provide breakfast and a hot lunch at our 5 sites. Those sites are:
