Every summer, millions of meals are distributed to children and teens at risk of hunger across Alabama. The ALSDE's Child Nutrition Program is aiming for more participants at the Huntsville sites.
Alabama's Break for a Plate Summer program has outpaced the growth os similar programs in other states, and there is still a critical need for sponsors.
The included summer learning sites are as follows:
James Dawson Elementary
Farley Elementary
Montview Elementary
Morris Elementary/Middle
Rolling Hills Elementary
Sonnie Hereford Elementary
Martin Luther King Jr. Elem
Whitesburg Elem./Middle
Summer learning sites will serve breakfast from 7:30-8:30 a.m., and lunch from 10:30-11:30 a.m.
