California Governor Gavin Newsom announced that meals in public schools will be free for all. But what about those children, during the summer break?
A free food program for kids in Santa Barbara County in tackling childhood food insecurity in the summer break.
Outside this elementary school in Carpinteria, free food packages are being handed out to families for their children’s lunch.
Some drive by, some stay and eat on a picnic blanket and listen to the music being played by local youth musicians.
It’s part of a summer meal concert series, and one of nearly 50 locations in Santa Barbara County where any child can be supplied with a free grab and go healthy meal.
