Help Us End Hunger in Dallas this Summer!
More than 83% of most inner city school children rely on the school lunch program to eat, and during summer months rely on churches and nonprofits to eat, or they go hungry. Our organization has partnered with the USDA and Texas Department of Agriculture to ensure that children in our region in low-income areas can receive up too two nutritious meals a day. The program is called the Summer Food Service Program of 2013. The meals are free to children 18 and younger during the summer months.
Meals are delivered to each site on a daily basis, and each location is responsible for providing volunteers and/or staff members to accept deliveries and serve meals in a specified location each day. Sites will not be responsible for any costs related to meals associated with the program, as that becomes the responsibility of the sponsor, which is Strategic Justice Initiatives.
Our goal at Strategic Justice Initiatives and FEED 3 is to provide a safe and healthy environment for youth and children to receive meals throughout the duration of the summer months. We strive to be a blessing within the communities throughout various areas, and to make a difference in the lives of youth and children through the nourishment of their minds, bodies, and souls.
Organizations such as Strategic Justice Initiatives serve as summer feeding program sponsors, who are responsible for providing meals to various organizations, churches, and site locations. To qualify for participation in the SFSP, sites must be located in a low income area approved by the state of Texas. Prior to beginning participation within the SFSP program, all sites are required to attend a training provided by Strategic Justice Initiatives that provides all of the necessary information on the requirements of the program. In addition to the training, Ashley Douglas of Strategic Justice Initiatives will be available throughout the duration of the summer for ongoing assistance in all areas related to the program. All sites who wish to participate will be required to inform SJI no later than Friday March 1, 2013.
FEED 3 works with local nonprofits, churches and schools to develop food pantries, character programs and outreach programs serving low income areas to help them with pro-business solutions to poverty and hunger. To donate to our work, click here.
