How kids get fed over the summer

In Milwaukee, there’s a program that blends federal money, city agencies, and private donors to provide free meals for kids during the summer. Across the country, feeding kids during the summer often falls to nonprofits or school districts when school lunches aren’t an option. WUWM education reporter Katherine Kokal speaks with Brandis Stockman and Justin Chu of the National League of Cities. Their conversation about summer meal programs is part of our series, Seeking Solutions: Food Access in Milwaukee. They share how cities have approached hunger and why they believe it should be everyone’s responsibility.
