Addressing Food Insecurity During Summer Break

Understanding the Challenge

Summer should be a time of relaxation and adventure for children, but for many families, it presents a significant challenge: food insecurity. During the school year, numerous children depend on free or reduced-price lunches provided at school. However, when schools close for summer vacation, many families struggle to provide regular, nutritious meals for their children.

The Gap in Access to Nutrition

Without school meals, children miss out on vital nutrition. It's estimated that millions of children nationwide face increased food insecurity during these months. This gap can lead to numerous adverse effects, both in the short and long term, affecting children's health, well-being, and capacity to learn and develop properly.

LindaBen Foundation's Commitment

At the LindaBen Foundation, we're committed to bridging this gap by increasing access to nutritious meals during the summer months. Our initiatives are designed to ensure that children continue to receive the balanced nutrition they need to thrive. Through collaborations with local food banks, community centers, and volunteers, we aim to provide sustainable resources for families in need.
