Each summer across Alabama, millions of meals are served to children and teens at risk of hunger at more than a thousand sponsor sites. The ALSDE’s Child Nutrition Program aims for even more participants this year at sites in Huntsville, Alabama including both the number of children and teens receiving meals as well as the number of sponsors providing those meals.
While Alabama’s Break for a Plate Summer has outpaced the growth of similar programs in other states, there remains a critical need for sponsors, particularly in rural areas where children and teens often live further from school.
