LIVING WORD IS THE HOME OF THE "SUMMER LUNCH BOX PROGRAM"
For most school-age children, summer is a time of fun and freedom; an opportunity to sleep late, enjoy the outdoors and engage in all that summer in Arlington has to offer.
However, for some of our children, the break from school can be a time of particular challenge. Not having access to the nutrition provided by the breakfast and lunch they receive during the school year can make for an uncomfortable and hungry summer.
There are currently 16 students within Arlington Community Schools identified as at-risk for hunger on weekends and during the summer months.
Last year, the Kiwanis Club of Northeast Shelby County partnered with Arlington Community Schools and many through-out our community to conduct the Summer Lunch Box program. Over the 11 weeks of distribution, we packed and distributed 212 boxes. Each box contained: 3 breakfasts, 3 lunches and assorted snacks. We were also able to include special items, including fresh fruit and vegetables, bread and additional snacks due to the generosity of the Agricenter’s Farmer’s Market and the supportive and compassionate people of the Arlington Community.
The deep gratitude and appreciation expressed by the parents and children as they picked up or received their boxes was very real. That their neighbors expressed such compassion and concern made a powerful impression. Most of all: It made a positive difference in the lives of our young people
