The final school bell is about to ring at schools across Orange County.  Children will flood onto school busses for the last time this year ready for the less structured joy and exciting experiences that summer can bring.  However, for the over 30,000 children in Orange County who qualify for free and reduced priced lunch during the school year, the threat of hunger is greater during the summer months.  Thankfully, community partners and agencies have been gearing up to address this need with food and fun across the county since April.  The sponsors of the Summer Food Service Program have been planning and preparing to bring nearly 75,000 FREE meals to various kid-friendly locations throughout the county so that Orange County families can enjoy the freedom of summer knowing their children are eating healthy and being active. 

By offering nutritious foods at summer locations in Newburgh, Middletown and Port Jervis children learn how to build a healthy plate and establish healthy eating habits that may continue into adulthood. Many of the locations offer more than food, they offer educational activities, friends and a true sense of community.  Shayna Russo, Project Manager of Cornell Cooperative Extension’s Eat Smart New York Hudson Valley Regional Program stated “Its amazing to see community partners come together and work with others to bring literacy, games, activities and all sorts of youth friendly programming to so many within the county.”
