[kids-lib] Easy way to promote free summer food in your community

Wed Jul 9 08:42:31 PDT 2014

Hi! If your library has been letting families know about the free summer food program, is partnering with the summer food program, or is a summer food site, then the following email may be of interest to you. Thunderclap is a very easy way to promote something on all your library's social media sites at once.

Good Afternoon SFSP Contacts:
Now that we are all in the midst of Summer Food Service Program implementation, we want to make sure to keep up the great momentum that has been created through all your promotion efforts.  Food and Nutrition Service is planning a "Thunderclap".  What is that, you ask?  It is a barrage of messages on one topic released at the same time through social media.  On July 29th, a message about summer meals will be sent out over Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr.  It is very easy to sign up and have the messages automatically sent out from your accounts on July 29th.  Just follow the link below and click on each icon (Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr), personalize your message, and voila, you are part of the Thunderclap.  Please consider participating and sharing this message with partners.

Sincerely,
Libby Albert
SFSP/CACFP Team Lead

Children need healthy food all year long. During the school year, many children receive free and reduced-price breakfast and lunch through their school meals programs. But when school lets out many of these children are at risk of hunger, which can hinder the learning process.

USDA's Summer Food Service Program ensures children 18 years of age and below, living in income-eligible communities, receive nutritious meals even when school is out. To reinforce this value, FNS has just launched a summer meals support effort on social media to raise awareness about summer meals sites and how these nutritious meals benefit our nation's children. Through a platform known as Thunderclap, this important message can be heard when you and your friends say it together.

By simply clicking a button of support here<https://www.thunderclap.it/projects/12857-summertime-not-hunger-time>, a user agrees to share a message with their friends through their Twitter, Facebook and/or Tumblr accounts.  That same message will be blasted by those that have agreed to support summer meals during the exact same established time, in this case July 29. Please consider using your social media influence to spread the word about this vital resource for families in need.  In doing so, more folks will know how to help kids and teens find a free, nutritious summer meal site this summer!
