Case Studies and Tool Kits on Summer Meal Programs
The Coalition will also develop case studies and tool kits to help school districts, food banks, and summer programs easily access best practices for program administration, programming, and nutrition education. Working closely with CDE and our network partners, we will encourage new sponsors and sites to sign on to provide summer meal programs - and join the statewide effort to combat hunger and obesity.
