Summer Meals Program Kicks Off
Emeril Lagasse Foundation helped kick of New Orleans summer food programs this week with Mayor Mitch Landrieu and other supporters. The program will serve 10,000 daily meals to local children, as there is a great need for assistance during summer months when school is out. Breakfast and lunch will be offered at 25 sites, and meals will be available for young people ages 5 to 18 free of charge.
The effort is a collaboration with the state Department of Education, Second Harvest Food Bank, Emeril Lagasse Foundation, United Way, Wal-Mart, C&S Grocers, Recovery School District, Orleans Parish School Board, New Orleans Recreation Development Commission, Aramark and the Partnership for Youth Development. A list of summer meals sites is here.
