"Thousands of clubs have remained open throughout this crisis not only to serve meals, but to remain a safe place for school-aged youth who can’t unfortunately be in-person at school. Thank you to FRAC and USDA for all their leadership during this crisis to make sure boys and girls club and all out-of-school time providers can keep serving meals." -Kate Clabaugh of @bgca.clubs
"In response to the pandemic, we saw parks and recreation professionals jump into action to make sure kids in their community had access to afterschool suppers and snacks. Parks and rec staff serve meals daily at park sites, meet communities where they are by delivering meals, and connect families to other resources." -Maureen Neumann of @NationalRecreationandParkAssociation #AfterschoolMealsMatter
"As schools closed this spring, afterschool nutrition provided much-needed supper & snacks for millions of students. Afterschool suppers & snacks matter because healthy young people are essential partners in tackling big issues. Hungry children can’t wait." [email protected] of The Alliance for a Healthier Generation #AfterschoolMealsMatter
"Across the country, over the past six months, YMCAs opened over 1300 meal sites, offering grab-and-go and drive-through meals. Afterschool meals and snacks matter because children need continued access to good nutrition to meet their full potential." -Stacey McDaniel of @YMCA #AfterschoolMealsMatter
"76 % of programs serving low-income children reported they are worried about food insecurity for the children they serve. Afterschool Programs have responded. They are serving or delivering meals, delivering learning materials, connecting families to community resources, and providing care for the children of essential workers. For many afterschool programs, afterschool is now all day long." -Jodi Grant of @afterschoolalliancedc #AfterschoolMealsMatter
