Several volunteer efforts are underway to address the issue.<\/p>\n<p>The Godby High School cafeteria was the scene of enthusiastic activity Saturday morning. It was the full return of the yearly \u201cFull Summer\u201d program to provide extra food for low income families while school is out. Tracy Ippolito was one of the event organizers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is our 10th \u2018A Full Summer\u2019 event. We were all a little surprised at how many of our children are food insecure. And by \u2018our children,\u2019 those are the children in the Big Bend area.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She said more than 200 volunteers prepared around 5,000 snack packs that will be distributed to the families of kids who, during the school year, are eligible for free and reduced cost lunches.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver the summer, when those schools are closed, these children won\u2019t have those opportunities to get food. So these snacks we packed today are for them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Next month, another food collection event called \u201cStuff the Truck\u201d will be happening at Tallahassee\u2019s Good Shepherd Catholic Church under the auspices of Good News Outreach.  <\/p>\n<div class=\"fullattribution\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google-analytics.com\/__utm.gif?utmac=UA-5828686-4&amp;utmdt=Full+Summer+volunteers+prepare+thousands+of+snack+packs+for+out-of-school+kids&amp;utme=8(APIKey)9(MDA4MzU1MzUzMDEzMTkyMzAwMzY5MjY1Mw004)\" \/><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":12028,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","wds_primary_category":0},"categories":[],"tags":[1136,1135],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.3 -
