In Daviess County, Kentucky (WFIE), officials from the Daviess County Public Schools are taking steps to ensure that children won't face hunger during the summertime.
Their second yearly Summer Feeding Kickoff event was held on Friday.
The event included complimentary lunches for children and their families, along with outdoor activities such as games and balloon artistry. Additionally, children had the opportunity to receive free board games which they could retain for keeps.
This marks the start of the DCPS Summer Feeding Program.
Connie-Beth Fillman, who serves as the Food Service Director for DCPS, addressed the importance of the occasion.
I believe this event serves as an opportunity to bring everybody together so that families can explore what Owensboro has to showcase, understand what our summer meal initiative provides, and learn about our mobile distribution paths. It’s a chance for everyone to enjoy a delicious lunch, have some fun, and then head back home.
DCPS will operate mobile routes through the communities they serve.
It continues until August 1.
