Now that most kids are home from school, the Greater Chicago Food Depository 'Lunch Bus' is back in business, delivering meals for the first time this summer in seven suburban areas.
The federally funded Child Nutrition Program is being operated by the Greater Chicago Food Depository, providing free boxed lunches for any child 18 and younger.
The goal of the program is to continue providing nutritious meals to kids who would normally be getting their meals through school. "Research tells us that of every 100 students that receive a free school lunch meal, only 12 actually participate in a summer meal program," said Greater Chicago Food Depository spokesperson Man-Yee Lee. "So that’s what the Lunch Bus is trying to do. We are ensuring that kids remain nourished throughout the summer months.""It’s expensive, inflation, especially now to try to buy vegetables or fruits and stuff," said Berwyn Township Supervisor David Avila.
