Boys & Girls Clubs to provide summer breakfasts and lunches for youth at club sites
Summary
Boys & Girls Clubs vice president of operations told the Sarasota County Schools podcast club sites in Sarasota County will serve free breakfasts and lunches to youth 18 and under and work with partners to provide snacks and weekend food supports.
Dawn Page, vice president of operations for the Boys & Girls Clubs that partner with the district, said club sites will serve breakfast and lunch to young people 18 and under and provide a safe environment for learning and enrichment during the summer.
"Nuestro único requisito es que los jóvenes tengan 18 años o menos. Pueden acudir a cualquiera de nuestras sedes del club en el condado de Sarasota para recibir desayuno y almuerzo," Page said, adding that adult visitors must wait at reception so meals are provided only to youth.
Page described collaboration with district Food & Nutrition Services and All Faiths Food Bank to ensure children receive nutritious meals and additional supports such as weekend backpacks. That coordination, she said, helps families stretch household budgets and gives youth consistent access to fresh produce, proteins and dairy while supporting summer learning.
