SUMMER MEALS - Nearly 30 million children depend on their K-12 school to receive breakfast and/or lunch every day. However, when school is out for summer break, many kids lose access to these important meals. The USDA launched a NEW initiative this summer to provide summer meals for millions of children. The “SUN Programs” provide new grocery benefits, in-person meals, and to-go meals for kids and teens across the country. More than 21 million children are expected to benefit from the program this summer. Nicole D’Antonio is live in Washington with details on how this NEW summer program works and who can benefit from it. To learn more, visit https://www.fns.usda.gov/summer/sunmeals .
