FYI,

I've been trying to get more public libraries to work with their school districts that are eligible for the free or reduced meal program to offer food during the summer in public libraries.

If interested, here's a webinar with more 
information.

Meeting Description:

USDA's Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) provides free, nutritious meals to kids & teens 18 years old and younger in low-income communities during summer break.  The program depends on community organizations like libraries and museums to serve the meals in a safe, convenient, and fun environment. 

 

The challenge for the program is having enough of these sites that serve summer meals.  In some communities there are only a few or no places that serve summer meals.  Libraries and museums are perfect sites because they are well-known, safe, and can add fun learning activities. 

 

Please join this webinar to learn more about how your library or museum can get involved.  There will be ample time for you to ask questions and share ideas.

 

 

Best,
