Volusia County issued the following announcement on Feb. 2.
Volusia County’s Community Assistance Division is seeking sites to serve children in the 2022 summer food program, which will run from June 6 through Aug. 12. The federally funded program provides free and nutritious meals to children ages 18 and younger in geographical areas where at least 50% of the children are eligible to receive free or reduced school meals.
A site must be an organization – such as a public agency, day care or nonprofit located in Volusia County – and must have capacity to receive daily meal deliveries and distribute meals to children. There is no cost to participate. Refrigerators will be provided if needed. Participating sites must adhere to health and safety guidelines.
