6\/16\/22,\u00a0<\/span>Washington, DC<\/b>: Summer should be a time of fun, food and friends. Unfortunately, for many children, summer is also one of the hungriest times of the year. When the academic year ends, many students lose access to free and low-cost school meals they received as part of the school day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

As part of No Kid\u00a0Hungry\u2019s\u00a0continuing effort to ensure all children in\u00a0Michigan\u00a0remain nourished and healthy throughout the calendar year, No Kid Hungry recently announced over $70,000 in grants to five schools and community organizations to support their efforts to feed kids this summer and throughout the upcoming school year.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cEvery child deserves a happy, hunger free summer. Yet, when kids lose access to school meals, many kids miss out on consistent, essential nutrition. And higher grocery bills can put a real strain on families already struggling to make ends meet.\u201d said Mindy Grant, Senior Program Manager for No Kid Hungry Michigan, \u201cWe applaud these grantees for their endless work to support their communities and ensure all kids have the adequate nutrition year-round to be active, healthy and ready to learn.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

No Kid Hungry is helping families find Meet Up and Eat Up summer meals near them through our Free Meals Finder map and texting hotline. Parents and caregivers can text the word \u201cFOOD\u201d (or \u201cCOMIDA\u201d) to 304-304 to find sites in their neighborhood.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

About No Kid Hungry<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

No child should go hungry in America. But in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, 1 in 6 kids could face hunger this year. No Kid Hungry is working to end childhood hunger by helping launch and improve programs that give all kids the healthy food they need to thrive. This is a problem we know how to solve. No Kid Hungry is a campaign of Share Our Strength, an organization committed to ending hunger and poverty.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
