Project Issue
More than 53,000 children in Central Alabama live in households where they often do not know where their next meal will come from. This is exacerbated during the summer when the free or low-cost meals many children rely on during the school year are not available.
Bold Goal
Ensure children have access to healthy meals during the summer.
Action
We are working with schools, churches and community organizations to expand summer meal programs throughout Central Alabama and provide free, healthy meals to more children.
Impact/Progress
1,126 children received free, healthy lunches and snacks at 14 feeding locations for a total of 82,000 meals during the summer of 2018.
