Recent data from Feeding America’s Map the Meal Gap study shows that 18.8% of children in Southwest Virginia are food insecure, compared to 12.8% of the total population. Summer is a particularly challenging time for food insecure children, as they lose access to free and reduced-price school meals.
Feeding America Southwest Virginia is participating in the Summer Food Service Program. Meals will be provided to all children without charge and are the same for all children regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability, and there will be no discrimination in the course of the meal service.
Meals will be provided on a first come, first serve basis, at the sites and times as follows:
