Distrito escolar unificado de Sacramento distribuye desayuno y comida gratuita este verano

BUT ALSO ACROSS THE COUNTY. INSIDE THE LUTHER BURBANK HIGH SCHOOL CAFETERIA, THE. THEY’RE DOING A LITTLE ORANGE CHICKEN OVER THERE FOR LUNCH. HILDA, HOW MANY SERVINGS OF THAT ARE YOU MAKING FOR LUNCH? AN EXAMPLE OF A MEAL STUDENTS CAN GET FOR FREE DURING SUMMER BREAK AT 50 DIFFERENT SACRAMENTO CITY UNIFIED SITES. WE HAVE A HOT SITE WHERE THEY MIGHT BE HAVE NUTRITION STAFF ON SITE, WHERE THEY’RE GOING TO SERVE HOT BREAKFAST AND LUNCH, OR IT’S GOING TO BE A COLD SITE WHERE THEY’RE GOING TO SERVE COLD BREAKFAST AND COLD LUNCH. AND THAT MENU FOR LUNCH LOOKS LIKE, YOU KNOW, SANDWICHES, WRAPS, SALADS, THINGS OF THAT NATURE. HOW MUCH MEAT? DAVID JOSIE, THE SCHOOL DISTRICT’S SUMMER MEALS COORDINATOR, SAYS THEY EXPECT LOTS OF LITTLE ONES AND TEENS TO UTILIZE THE FREE BREAKFAST AND LUNCH. I THINK WE WOULD LOOK AT ABOUT 5000 MEALS PER DAY, PROBABLY ABOUT A THOUSAND BREAKFASTS, AND 4000 LUNCHES. BUT OUR HOPE IS IS MUCH HIGHER THAN THAT. I MEAN, WE WOULD WANT TO OPERATE LIKE A NORMAL SCHOOL YEAR BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THE NEED IS THERE. THE SACRAMENTO FOOD BANK AND FAMILY SERVICES IS STOCKED UP TO FEED FOLKS ACROSS SACRAMENTO COUNTY THIS SUMMER TO BEFORE THE PANDEMIC, WE WERE PROVIDING FOOD TO ABOUT 150,000 PEOPLE A MONTH. WE’RE NOW OVER 300,000. THE NUMBER IS NOT GOING DOWN. IN FACT, MARCH, APRIL, AND NOW OUR NUMBERS COMING IN FROM MAY WILL BE THE HIGHEST WE’VE EVER SERVED, CLOSER TO 320,000. MANY OF THOSE HAVE NEVER GOTTEN HELP BEFORE. WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE FAIRLY SUCCESSFUL, BOTH WORKING. THEY’RE ALL LOVELY PEOPLE, BUT THEY’RE JUST HAVING A VERY DIFFICULT TIME AND THEY’RE UTILIZING THESE SERVICES BECAUSE THEY’RE IN NEED OF THEM. THE FOOD BANK ALREADY PROVIDES FOOD TO 180 DISTRIBUTION SITES AND CHARITIES ACROSS THE COUNTY. THIS SUMMER, IT WILL ALSO WORK WITH SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES TO GIVE FREE GROCERIES TO THE ENTIRE FAMILY. WE WE TRY TO HAVE A BALANCED BOX OR A BALANCED BAG. IN ADDITION, WE TRY TO TO HAVE PRODUCE AS WELL, DEPENDING ON THE SITE, IF THEY CAN STORE, IF THEY CAN COLD STORE. YEAH, THEY’RE A FANTASTIC RESOURCE, WHETHER IT’S FROM THE FOOD BANK, FROM SAC CITY UNIFIED, YOU CAN FIND ALL OF THE INFORMATION WHERE YOU CAN FIND MEALS AND THOSE FREE GROCERIES RIGHT NOW ON THIS STORY ON KCRA DOT COM. NOW, SPEAKING OF SAC CITY UNIFIED, WE HAVE THE BEST SEAT IN THE HOUSE RIGHT NOW. ROSEMONT HIGH SCHOOL IS GETTING READY TO GRADUATE HERE AT SUTTER HEALTH PARK.
