Surplus Foods Considered for Iowa Hot Lunches
In Iowa, WPA officials say surplus commodities could fund free lunches for undernourished children. The program would allow nonfree meals for others, with a nationwide quota of 5 million child participants and local quotas of 99 thousand. Readily available items include butter pork lard corn meal eggs dried prunes raisins and apples among others. Fort Madison Muscatine Davenport and Sioux City already run hot lunch projects and more districts are expected to join. The state Department of Public Instruction assists with the WPA.
