LOMPOC, Calif. - Community-wide efforts to feed children this summer continue across Santa Barbara County.
The No Kid Hungry campaign visited Hapgood Elementary School in Lompoc Wednesday.
The annual program is supported by a coalition of local school districts, cities and non-profit groups. They combine resources to provide free, nutritious grab and go meals to children age 18 and under all summer long. For the kids who walk and pick up meals, who are not in summer school, they pick up a meal on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and they get meals for the entire week, said Hannah Carroll of the Lompoc Unified School District. And our summer school students who are here on campus, they also get two meals a day. They get breakfast and lunch.

The Lompoc Unified School District (LUSD) will be offering students an opportunity to participate in expanded learning experiences starting this summer.
In past summers, LUSD has offered in-person elective classes and enrichment, but now itâll be available to more students and involves even more community partners.
âThe 2021 Summer Learning Program started as an idea, that turned into a Think Tank and has blossomed into a hands-on, camp style summer learning program that not only takes into consideration the losses our students have experienced this past year, but also the thoughtful process our LUSD educators put into this,â said Katherine Wallace, LUSD Coordinator of Educational Services.
