Free Summer Meals for Connecticut’s Kids Outreach Blitz Week 2015

As the summer draws near it is time to start thinking about the Summer Meals Programs for children in CT. End Hunger CT! and CT No Kid Hungry Campaign need your help to get the word out.

Please join us at one of our Summer Meals Outreach Blitz Days! What are “Summer Meals”? Funded through the United States Department of Agriculture, Summer Meals are free, nutritious meals and snacks for kids and teens 18 years and younger that are available at more than 500 locations throughout CT during the summer. Summer Meals help keep kids growing healthy and strong, while offering a fun environment for kids to play with friends and enjoy being a kid.

What & Where are Summer Meals Outreach “Blitz Days”?
