Summer Nutrition Programs for Kinship/Grandfamilies
When the school year ends, millions of children lose access to the school breakfasts and lunches they rely on during the school year. This can exacerbate summertime food insecurity for those children in kinship. The Summer Nutrition Programs are designed to replace school breakfast and lunch and can help lower food costs for families. These programs ensure that children have consistent access to healthy meals during the summer months, which is critical for their health and well-being. This Grandfamilies & Kinship Support Network tipsheet explains Summer Nutrition Programs along with benefits and eligibility.
