Summer food programs help address food insecurity in SWMO

Throughout the year, students who may be experiencing food insecurity at home can count on getting meals at school. But what about during summer break? A recent report from Feeding America shows that 1 in 5 children continue to face hunger and food insecurity in southwest Missouri. Summer food programs held at area school districts like Joplin Schools and Carthage Schools help address this need when school is out of session.
