<p class="MsoNormal">Hello everyone, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Some of you may have seen the below press release about ODE food assistance. Oregon will be able to offer food assistance to about 65% of our kids and teens statewide for the 2020-2021 school year. Hunger is such a significant issue for
 our communities and we know it’s been a tough year for food access. I’ve been getting some questions about summer food site locations and wanted to let you know that as districts are figuring out summer plans – and still in the midst of wrapping up a challenging
 year – summer meal sites have not been finalized, just like everything else! I think the soundtrack to the pandemic must include Tom Petty’s Waiting is the Hardest Part.
<span style="font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif">😊</span> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I understand this lack of information can make planning difficult and we so appreciate your continued flexibility and dedication to serve your communities! As soon as we have the list of summer food sites from ODE, I will send them out.
 In the meantime, if you worked with a meals site last year and haven’t had a chance to check in with those folks, it may be a good time to check in with them.
