Champaign-Urbana Public Health District Hosts Food Program Providing Free Meals to Children
Champaign, IL – The Champaign-Urbana Public Health District (CUPHD) is hosting the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) again this year beginning on Thursday, June 16, 2011. The program provides free meals and snacks throughout the summer months when children are not in school.
SFSP is sponsored by the Illinois State Board of Education and will run until August 19, 2011 in the lobby of CUPHD located at 201 W. Kenyon Road in Champaign. Breakfast is served from 9:00 am – 11:00 am, a morning snack from 11:00 am – 12:00 pm, and lunch from 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm. All meals are free to children ages one to 18 regardless of income or residency.
“The Summer Food Service Program is very important to help maintain children’s nutritional values throughout the summer,” according to Charlotte Miles, Nutritionist at CUPHD. “The program at CUPHD will also include activities, arts and crafts, and games during the meal times with the most participation.”
The Champaign-Urbana Public Health District proudly sponsors programs such as these to help children learn and grow. For more information, please contact CUPHD at (217) 531-4284 or visit www.c-uphd.org.
