DUNLAP, Tenn. – As gas prices and grocery costs rise, it’s tough to stretch a dollar.
But starting today, parents can get some help from Sequatchie County Schools’ summer feeding program for children.
Each weekday through July 22, children ages 2 to 18 can eat a hot breakfast at the Griffith Elementary School cafeteria or pick up a bagged breakfast or lunch. There’s no charge for the children, and parents may join them for $3, said Cindy Keener, assistant program coordinator.
“I’m so thankful that we can provide them with nutritious meals throughout the summer because a lot of times when parents are at work, they get sandwiches and not a full, complete meal,” said Keener.
