PLEASANT GROVE — The Utah Food Bank on Wednesday has launched another year of their Summer Food Service Program to help feed children during the summer months, when they lose access to meals at school.and has had a longtime partnership with the Utah Food Bank helping to feed the state's children ages 18 and younger.

She and her children came to the park just once last summer but plan on getting meals from the program more regularly this year.
