As reported by Education Week, this year, the US Department of Agriculture plans to continue encouraging more participation in summer meal programs by both increasing the number of serving sites and by making families aware of the sites that already exist.
Their tactics include:
- A Summer Meals Site Finder
- Partnering with Post Offices, and
- More Volunteers
The Obama administration hopes to see a total of 200 million summer meals served this summer according to the article. For more information, see Education Week.
