But for 30 million children who rely on school meals, when the school year ends, so does their access to this resource. For the 1 in 5 kids in the U.S. who are already food insecure, this means having even less access to food this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Feed the Children is a leading nonprofit committed to ending childhood hunger. That\u2019s why the nonprofit is expanding its Summer Feed &amp; Read program in Oklahoma City as well as adding partner locations in Memphis, Tenn. and Atlanta, Ga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For many families, 2024 has brought continued challenges that will make this summer more difficult. Even as food prices continue to rise, several states opted to not participate in the USDA SUN Bucks (Summer EBT) program. This leaves many parents to worry if their children will have enough to eat.<br>Feed the Children helps by providing vital support to families who experience increased food insecurity during the summer months. The nonprofit is working closely with partners to provide nearly 30,000 prepackaged meal kits for breakfast and lunch this summer. The nonprofit also provides household essentials like cleaning supplies as well as personal care items that are not covered by SNAP benefits. This allows parents and caregivers an opportunity to keep more room in their budget for food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFeed the Children is dedicated to increasing domestic programmatic impact as part of our commitment to growth and our goal to improve our support to the communities we serve,\u201d said Colleen Ridenhour, Chief Growth and Strategy Officer at Feed the Children. \u201cThrough expanding the Summer Feed &amp; Read program, we aim to help close the meal gap for children experiencing the loss of school meals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to food and essential household and personal care items, Feed the Children also provides books and encourages enrollment in local summer reading programs that keep kids\u2019 minds active. Research has shown that young students lose some of their achievement gains \u2013 up to one month of school year\u2019s lessons \u2013 over the summer. This is especially true in literacy when they don\u2019t read regularly during the summer. When students fall behind in literacy at an early age, they often don\u2019t catch up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For student Mason, Feed the Children\u2019s Feed &amp; Read program makes summer feel special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe can have fun and focus on what we are doing instead of focusing on being hungry,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year\u2019s Summer Feed &amp; Read Oklahoma partners include Luther Community Service Center, Oklahoma City Public Schools &#8211; Spencer Elementary, Del City Church of Christ, Latino Community Development Agency, South Walker Church of Christ, Oklahoma City Indian Clinic, Positive Tomorrows, OKC Dream Center, St. Luke Baptist Church, and YMCA Y Clubhouse at Sooner Haven, Oak Grove and Ambassador Courts. Through this year\u2019s program, the nonprofit will distribute more than 12,000 prepackaged meal kits. The organization is also partnering with the Metropolitan Library System and their \u201cAdventure Begins at Your Library\u201d summer reading program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Atlanta, the nonprofit is working with Fulton County Schools and Destiny World Church to provide lunch meal kits to nearly 3,000 students as part of the program. They are also encouraging students to track the books and minutes they read though the Atlanta Public Library system and utilize their iReady platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of the Summer Feed &amp; Read program in Memphis, Feed the Children will provide nearly 7,000 pre-packaged meal kits to the Emmanuel Center and the Vance Avenue Youth Development Center. The organization is supporting summer learning and working with volunteers to encourage reading and help fight \u201csummer slide\u201d the seasonal learning loss that students can experience when school is out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are grateful for all our partners and their commitment to ensuring children in their community have the food they need this summer,\u201d said Tamara Sandberg, Vice President of U.S. Program Development at Feed the Children. \u201cTogether, we will have more impact this summer for children in OKC, Atlanta, and Memphis.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Individuals and businesses can make a difference in the lives of children and their families by supporting Feed the Children\u2019s efforts to fight summer hunger. This support will provide kids an opportunity to stay active and enjoy their summer. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Una organizaci\u00f3n sin \u00e1nimo de lucro colabora para proporcionar alimentos y art\u00edculos de primera necesidad a ni\u00f1os y familias<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"content-type":"","_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"post_folder":[71],"class_list":["post-2587","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-press"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.4 (Yoast SEO v27.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Feed the Children Expands Summer Feed &amp;
