*         To provide summer food only at a one-off event. For example, you might provide bag lunches at your summer reading grand finale picnic.

*         From a variety of free, ready to use banners, fliers, and other materials to promote summer food at your summer reading program.

*         To use teen volunteers to help you set-up/clean-up before and after providing food, help children and families get their food and get seated, read to children and families while they eat, and count meals distributed and number of people participating.
