Many students rely on school meals to get the nutrition they need to grow, be healthy and succeed in school. In the summer, these children lack access to those meals and families struggle to put food on the table.
The federal summer meals program provides a solution to summertime hunger for kids. But last year, just 19 percent of eligible NJ kids received these meals.
The NJ Food for Thought Campaign and the New Jersey Department of Agriculture are launching a campaign to spread the word to parents about these programs and we need your help. More information and outreach materials, including downloadable flyers, are available. Click on the link below.
