The Los Angeles Regional Food Bank will launch its 13th annual Summer Meal Program on Monday, June 4. The program will run until school begins, providing a nutritious lunch to children who would normally access their midday meal at school.
The BackPack Program is designed to ensure that kids who rely on school meals don’t go hungry over the weekend. We currently serve more than 1,000 children at 10 underserved schools on a weekly basis during the school year.
One in four children living in Los Angeles County does not know where their next meal is coming from.
