For the many kids in the area who depend on the National School Lunch program, summer may create a challenge when it comes to eating good healthy food.

This summer, the Good Shepard Food Bank will sponsor five sites in Bangor and Brewer where kids can receive very good meals free of charge.

“For the 80,000 children in Maine who depend on the National School Lunch Program, summer is a time of uncertainty,” says Kristen Miale, president of Good Shepherd Food Bank.  “Once school is out, only 27% of these children continue to receive the meals they need to thrive. Funding from the USDA is available but it’s up to individual communities to coordinate the distribution of these meals which is a big task. That’s why we’re proud to work with our partners in Bangor and Brewer to ensure the kids in this area have access to nutritious meals all summer.”
