Summer Lunch Program 2009
  FoodLinks summer lunch program was a great success. Foodlink served 15 sites in Tulare County which included 4
new sites. An average of 650 lunches were served daily. Thank you to all our summer lunch agencies for all their hard work, this could not have been accomplished without you. FoodLink's Administrative Manager, Becky Kennedy did an outstanding job of coordinating the program and overseeing its success.
                                           
             "Nutrition on the Go!
 


This Program has grown to 19 communities within Tulare and Kings Counties. At these events that are best described as mini Farmers Market/Health Fair/Carnival like atmosphere, FoodLink is serving between 200 and 500 families per site, twice a month in some sites. Kicking off 2009 we served over 5,500 families with fresh produce and nutrition education. We have additional services provided by several other agencies. FoodLink continues to partner with community agencies to add more value to our events.  Many families come to these sites, not only because of the need but for the positive experience and support provided to help get their families on the road to a healthier lifestyle.
