OKLAHOMA CITY (KOKH) — The Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma is offering free meals and snacks to children across the state throughout the summer months as part of its Summer Feeding Program.
The initiative, which runs from June 2 to August 8, aims to ensure that children aged 18 and under continue to receive nutritious meals even when school is out.
“When school releases for summer, thousands of children lose access to the nutritious meals they count on. The Regional Food Bank’s Summer Feeding Program helps ensure no child has to worry where their next meal will come from,” said Stacy Dykstra, chief executive officer of the Regional Food Bank. “Good nutrition is essential not just for healthy bodies, but for bright futures.”
The Summer Feeding Program started on Monday and runs through August 8.
The Summer Feeding Program is a federal nutrition program managed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and distributed through the Oklahoma State Department of Education.
Meals will be provided without charge to all children.
