With summer upon us, many children look forward to sunny days, vacations, and time spent with family and friends. However, for countless families in our community, summer also brings a significant challenge—feeding children who usually receive meals at school. When schools close, the need for food assistance grows exponentially.
During the school year, many children rely on free or reduced-price meals. The absence of these meals can lead to heightened food insecurity during the summer months. Our organization has seen a significant increase in requests for food support, and we are working tirelessly to meet this elevated demand.
In the summer months, many families face increased financial strain as children are out of school and no longer receiving regular meals. This puts a significant burden on already struggling households, leading to food insecurity and hunger.
For many working parents, summer break also means finding alternative care for their children while they are at work. This additional expense can leave families with even less money for food and other necessities. As a result, many working families find themselves in need of food assistance during the summer months.
Grandparents who care for their grandchildren while they are out of school also need food throughout the summer season. These seniors may already be facing financial difficulties, and the added responsibility of providing meals for their grandchildren can put a significant strain on their resources.
As a community, it’s important to recognize and support these caregivers who are stepping up to provide for their families during the summer months.
