NASHVILLE – The Tennessee Department of Human Services is looking for nonprofit and local government agencies to help feed low-income children this summer.
The Summer Food Service Program is designed to provide nutritious meals to needy children. The U.S. Department of Agriculture funds the program.
DHS contracts annually with a variety of local agencies to prepare, deliver and serve free meals and snacks to children at approved locations.
Last year, 55 agencies operated the program at 1,582 sites across Tennessee, including parks, playgrounds, recreation centers, schools, colleges, churches, camps and other places accessible to needy children.
