Every Child, Every Day – Summer Hunger Initiative 2008

During the school year, over 23,000 children in Sonoma County rely on Free or Reduced Price school meals. During the summer, these low-income children are in need of the meals they depend on during the school year.

Through the Summer Lunch program, children up to 18 years old can eat free lunches at 35 locations in Sonoma County beginning June 9th.

SUMMER HUNGER DRIVE
May to July, 2008

Our neighbors in need of food are hungry all year - not just during the holiday season. We need to keep our shelves well stocked to distribute food to our 128 partner agencies throughout Sonoma County. If you would like to help, call Miriam Hodgman, 523-7900, ext 27 to learn how. Food lines are getting longer and longer - you can make a difference in the lives of the 50,000 people who turn to the REFB for food each month.
