Oakland's long-standing summer meal program for kids is set to resume this year at full capacity due to significant funding from the East Bay Community Foundation and Eat. Learn. Play., a nonprofit established by Steph and Ayesha Curry. This intervention rescues the initiative from budget cuts that threatened to leave children without essential meals. City officials expressed relief, emphasizing the program's critical role in meeting the needs of families during the summer months when school lunches are unavailable, thereby ensuring that kids continue to receive nutritious food during the break.
It was quite demoralizing having to be the bearer of bad news... I was sad at the prospect of kids showing up this year to be turned away.
The program's revival comes after the East Bay Community Foundation and Eat. Learn. Play., a nonprofit founded by Steph and Ayesha Curry, contributed up to $375,000.
