EC summer meals up

Participation increased from last year in the summer free meal program at East Clinton Local Schools, reported the food services director.

The total number of “Seamless Summer Option” breakfasts and lunches distributed in summer 2020 is 5,352.

This averages out to almost 100 meals daily, stated East Clinton Food Services Director Anne Woodruff.

“The [COVID-19] waivers for non-congregate feeding and allowing someone to pick up meals for the children has allowed the flexibility for families to come get the meals and eat at their convenience or pick up for several families at one time,” Woodruff said.

The two pickup sites were at the Churches of Christ in New Vienna and Sabina. The New Vienna breakfast and lunch grab-and-go bags given out totaled 2,062, while the Sabina grab-and-go bags numbered 3,290.

All children 18 and younger were welcome to receive the free meals.
