WATCH: Provision Packs volunteers work to reduce child poverty, hunger
The group’s founder explains the nonprofit’s mission to provide food on weekends to kids from impoverished families and introduces core team members.
Children and teens can enjoy free meals for several weeks starting in June, thanks to Volusia County’s Summer Food Service Program.
The program, funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, helps parents provide food for their children during school breaks. The program provides free, nutritionally balanced breakfasts and lunches to children and teens 18 and under from June 2 through Aug. 8.
There is no income requirement. People do not need to register for the program.
Volusia County Schools will also provide food through the program at some public schools. For information, call the Human Services Office at 386-254-4648 in Daytona Beach, 386-736-5956 in DeLand, or 386-423-3375 in New Smyrna Beach. Ask for extension 12980 or 12984.
People can go to summerbreakspot.org to find free meals for kids and teens in their area.
