During the summer break, students typically do not have access to school meals that are available to them throughout the school year. This results in an increased risk of food insecurity during the summer months. Feeding Our Future provides students enrolled in summer programs with nutritious meals during the summer break. Students typically receive a daily hot lunch consisting of protein, grains, vegetables, fruit and milk. Cold meals such as sandwiches are provided to students on days when they have field trips. Feeding Our Future is vital in reducing food insecurity among children of low-income families and ensuring they continue to have access to nutritious food during the summer break.
