Who should attend? “Parents and community members who feel strongly about eradicating childhood hunger,” says Crystal Aston, program champion. “This is a grassroots effort to create a vision for a hunger-free summer in this community”.

The Summer Food Program will provide free lunches to children at Bel Air Park from June 22nd – August 17th. The forum is designed to identify the challenges and opportunities around providing summer meals, and brainstorm ways to overcome them.

During the summer, 87% of local kids are at a heightened risk of experiencing hunger because they are not in school where they received a subsidized meal during the school year. Many families have a harder time making ends meet during the summer when kids are on vacation.

“Join us and become a summer food champion!” says Aston. “By working together as a community, we can use available funding to make sure that we reach kids in need with nutritious food”.
