During the school year, 34,000 children in our County receive free or reduced price school meals. But what happens when school's out for summer?
Summer food programs in North, South, and Mid Counties help keep those kids from going hungry.
We are promoting the programs internally with an all-staff email and a link to a countywide bilingual flyer, and externally with a blurb on our DSS public website home page, which links to printable flyers with all the details.
Local media have also run a couple of stories, seen below.
