ReadingWithYou WeHelpArlington is fighting the ‘summer slide’ and making sure children who depend on school breakfast and lunch don’t go hungry.
There are 700,000 families who are considered food insecure, according to the United Way Metropolitan Dallas. Many of those children depend on school breakfast and lunch for nutrition, so when school is out, getting access to good food is even more of a hardship.For those who are unable to leave their homes, they provide delivery services as well through a mobile market food truck.
“We are a nonprofit social service agency, and our primary mission is addressing food insecurity in the Arlington area,” program director Casey McCollum said. “We do that in a number of different ways. We have a daily drive-through pantry every single day from about 9 a.m. until noon and we serve about 140 households every day.”
“We send that truck out into the community into food deserts with fresh produce and meal and eggs on it. It’s neat,” McCollum said.“We really value education here as well. Not just helping people with food but helping them beyond other needs that they might have. Part of that is education and we know that many of our families have children. That’s why we wanted to create this new program to help,” McCollum said.
