Lunch at the Oakland Library In California last summer, 84% of children who received free or subsidized meals during the school year did not participate in a summer lunch program, in part due to the lack of summer school sites. --California Food Policy Advocates “School’s Out Who Ate” Annual Report. Children eating free lunch at Cesar Chavez Branch Library, OPL

  24. Let’s Do Lunch! • Staffing (clerical, custodial, and programmatic) • Facility (in the library, or in the meeting room? Either works) • Outreach (target community?
