Summer can be an exciting time – but for many children, summer can also mean hunger.
To address this need and support wellness among city youth, the City of Memphis created the program FUN - Fitness, Unity, Nutrition as part of the USDA Summer Food Service Program.
"Hunger does not take a break and just as learning does not end with the dismissal of school, neither does a child’s need for nutrition", says Mayor A C Wharton, Jr. "With summer right around the corner, it’s time to think about keeping Memphis children eating healthy during these months."
The program begins June 3 and runs through August 2, Monday through Friday from 10:30 a.m to 12:30 p.m. at twenty three park sites throughout the city.
