To make sure the only issue underserved children have to only worry about is how they’ll spend their time off, a number of nonprofits are finding innovative ways to bring meals to children.
“During spring break, that’s 10 missed meals if they are getting breakfast and lunch at school, so it’s really important for us to get out here,” Brenda O’Brian of the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma, told News on 6.
Across the country, 21 at school, according to Feeding America.
To continue feeding those kids during vacation, nonprofits, like the Community Food Bank, started putting nourishment systems in place as schools prepared to shut down.
That Oklahoma group is packing up its mobile food truck and parking it at a local community center so that kids can get a hot meal. Children under 18 get first priority and any leftovers can then go to adults, according to News on 6.
But the situation is even more difficult for students who attend schools that close for two weeks, which is going to be the case in Franklin, Indiana.
There, Gleaners Food Bank is sending out 200 packages to low-income kids packed with 20 pounds of food each, Ross Fraser, Feeding America’s director of media relations, told HuffPost in an email.
While aid groups have long focused on finding hunger solutions during the summer months, a number of organizations are increasing up their efforts to also help support kids when school takes a break in the spring.
