[kids-lib] Summer Food Program information and start-up grant opportunity

Fri Mar 28 08:55:00 PDT 2014

Hi! Many of you are already or are thinking about the summer food program in relation to your summer reading program. You likely are asking yourselves questions like...
Should my library become a summer food site?
Should we partner with a local summer food site?
How do summer food sites work?

The latest OregonASK newsletter includes a lot of information and resources that may help you answers these questions and more. In addition, the first article is about the grant opportunity that I email out on this list several weeks ago to provide start-up funds for new sites.

Upcoming Trainings

Getting Started with the "Healthy Out-of-School Time Framework" Webinar

April 22, 2014 | 10am

OregonASK is excited to announce a new collaboration with the Alliance for a Healthier Generation to encourage before, after and summer programs across the state to utilize the Alliance's Healthy Out-of-School Time Framework. Any out-of-school time provider can utilize the Alliance's Healthy Out-of-School Time (HOST) Framework, a science-based framework that helps programs create environments where youth are encouraged to eat healthier and move more. The HOST Framework is built upon the National Afterschool Association Standards for Healthy Eating and Physical Activity.
