Free summer meals for Kansas kids fall short in participation
An editorial notes only 6.8 percent of Kansas children eligible for free or reduced-price lunch used summer meal sites in 2008, with Oklahoma and Mississippi lower. Lawrence residents can access meals for ages 1 to 18 at five local sites, no qualification required, on site consumption only. Contact Susan Krumm for details, and urging community outreach to raise statewide participation.
