Action Ministries’ Smart Lunch Smart Kids program aims to make sure children get a nutritious midday meal this summer when they are out of school. The program will begin May 29.
More than 400 children in Gainesville will look forward to lunch every day over the summer, something that may not have been guaranteed for all of them. Smart Lunch, Smart Kid, a program through Action Ministries, will provide lunches for hundreds of children at three different housing authorities. Children who receive free or reduced-price lunch throughout the school year will be given a sack lunch each weekday, prepared by local volunteers.
