This works in rural Tennessee, I bet it would work in the North Country...
A cafeteria on wheels: Hawkins County program offers
food to hungry
Knoxville News
Sentinel, June 15, 2015
While summer meals are available for low-income
Tennessee children, in the hills of Appalachia gas prices and transportation
difficulties make it tough for many children to access these meals. One Accord
Ministries has two renovated school buses that deliver meals to these children
through its Lunch Box Program, and Walmart recently donated $32,000 to purchase
and renovate two more buses and expand the program from three to five days a
week. The program receives reimbursements from the federal government for the
meals. One of the bus drivers remarked that on the first day driving the bus,
two sisters climbed on board and said they hadn’t had anything to eat but cold
cereal in three days. During the school year, more than 20 million children rely
on school meals, according to FRAC.
