Kansas City, Kansas, Public Schools and Healthy Communities Wyandotte have teamed up with Humana, one of the nation’s leading health and well-being companies, and the Community Health Council of Wyandotte County to provide free meals to adults who accompany children participating in the Summer Food Service Program.
At all sites managed by Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools this summer, adults will be offered meals free of charge if they bring a participating child to a summer meal site.
“With food insecurity in Wyandotte County being 18.1 percent, it is extremely important that we are able provide healthy, nutritious meals to our children and the adults that accompany them,” said the school district’s director of nutritional services, Josh Mathiasmeier.
