INDIANAPOLIS — Indy Parks unveiled the schedule for the Summer Servings Meal Program on Thursday. The program is part of the Summer Food Service Program, aiming to fill the gap for families supported by the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs during the school year.
According to the release, the Indy Parks meals program has served over 3.3 million meals since 2013.
“Every year, Summer Servings provides thousands of children here in Indianapolis with the nutritious meals they all deserve,” said Mayor Hogsett in a news release. “If we want our city’s youth to thrive, we must first ensure that they have what they need to grow and learn in a healthy environment, and that is what Summer Servings is all about.”
“The Summer Servings program is one of Indy Parks’ essential services that help combat food insecurity in our city,” said Indy Parks Director Phyllis Boyd in the release. “Inspiring healthy living is an important part of our Indy Parks mission, not only through access to physical activity but also by providing healthy food."
