Too many Texas children do not know if there will be food for their next meal. As trusted public spaces and community centers, libraries are at the heart of their communities and they welcome children during summer vacations.
Libraries can help alleviate food insecurity by participating in the USDA Summer Food Service Program, serving meals and snacks to hungry children in conjunction with their summer programs. To learn more about how your library can get involved, including eligibility details, resources, and potential grant opportunities, visit the Texas Summer Food Program page from Texas State Library and Archives Commission (TSLAC).
