Children and Schools Workgroup Meeting
Join our Children and Schools workgroup for their monthly meeting.
To learn more about the kinds of issues Smith County’s children face, we will work with the school system to incorporate food insecurity screenings into school enrollment forms. Families with children who participate in free and reduced school meal programs will be connected with community food resources. We are also working to develop a school-based food pantry to support local schools in food deserts.

Thanks to Sarah Malone and Gloria Bell, our children and schools workgroup co-chairs, for putting together this list of where children can receive free lunches. Please feel free to share with anyone you think might need it.
