Start here to plan summer meals
Here are tips, tools and resources to help you offer summer meals during this time of heightened hunger needs in your community.
Waiver Extensions Make Summer Meals Simple
USDA and MDE have extended waivers instituted in response to COVID-19 school closures. These waivers allow programs to continue providing 7-day bundled meals (if this is your preferred option) to your scholars through August 31!
COVID will continue into summer. Meals should too.
State and federal officials have warned social distancing guidelines will remain for some time. Food insecurity will continue to grow as the economy and jobs slowly rebound. Kids will continue to need regular meals through the summer.
Meals Offered During Closures Bring Increased Revenues
During COVID-19-related closures, the USDA is reimbursing schools at a higher per-meal-rate than meals served when school is in session. Don’t refer your revenues away! CKC can help you meet your scholars’ needs.
