Summer meals program feeds area children across sites
The annual USDA funded Summer Feeding Program in Garden City serves meals at seven sites Monday through Thursday into July. Attendance climbs yearly, with 128 meals on opening day rising to 215 served off the bus last week. Locations include Ayala Park, Lee Richardson Zoo, and the Big Pool, with meals also at East Garden Village and Towns Riverview South. Staff note transportation barriers for some families and stress the program aims to provide nutritious meals rather than profit.
