As summer ends and a new school year begins, we acknowledge the hard work of summer meal sponsors and advocates to bridge the gap to keep children healthy, connected, and ready to learn. Just last summer in 2024, summer meal sponsors served millions of meals to children across the country – a powerful illustration of the impactful work of community organizations. School nutrition staff are truly our hunger heroes! After their hard work throughout the summer, they have immediately dived into the swing of things at school.
