Connecting Kids With Nutritious Meals This Summer
Most children look forward to summer adventures that include outdoor fun, family vacation, and water activities. Operation Food Search Food and Fun Club provides a mini-camp experience for children that may not have access to traditional day camps. Designed to complement The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), funded by the USDA, the Food and Fun Club provides a daily dose of nutrition, along with a variety of games, arts, crafts, and STEM projects. The healthy meals fuel growing bodies while the engaging activities enrich curious minds.
As an SFSP sponsor, Operation Food Search will connect thousands of children 18 years and under to meals at over 70 locations across the metro region. When school is out, kids are more at-risk for hunger and obesity. More than 390,000 youth rely on free and reduced-price school meals during the school year and struggle to replace that nutrition source in the summer. The Food and Fun Club provides access to delicious meals kids want to eat at locations close to their homes.
