3 THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT SUMMER CHILDHOOD HUNGER

Picture
1) Summer is a time of need. For some kids, summer is a time of joy and freedom. For millions of kids who rely on school for regular meals, however, summer can be a time of hunger and anxiety. Research shows that family grocery costs rise more than $300 a month when school is out and school meals disappear, putting a strain on already-tight budgets. That leaves many families making tough trade-offs; two-thirds of all low-income families say they’ve had to choose between food and utilities, two-thirds also had to choose between food and medical care.

2. Summer hunger has long-term consequences. A lack of reliable nutrition during the summer months takes a major toll on children. Kids who struggle with hunger are more likely to experience “summer slide”, forgetting what they learned and starting the next school year months behind their more affluent peers. Kids who struggle with hunger are more likely to experience long-term health consequences, like iron deficiency, anemia, asthma, type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

3. Congress has the chance to help more kids get the food they need. Congress is currently considering improvements to the summer meals program through child nutrition reauthorization. We must urge our lawmakers to stand up for kids and pass a strong bill that supports and strengthens existing summer meals sites through policies that make it easier for states to reach low-income children. For example, where it makes sense, states should have the option to provide low-income families with a grocery store credit during the summer months to purchase nutritious foods, a model that has been proven to reduce the most severe forms of childhood hunger by up to one-third.  In other circumstances, when accessing a summer meal site is difficult or impossible for children, states should have the option to deliver meals or allow children to leave a site with a meal for later.
