The University of the South, in partnership with the South Cumberland Community Fund, is sponsoring the South Cumberland Summer Meal Program for children this summer, an effort administered in Tennessee by the Department of Human Services under an agreement with the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Meals will be provided to all children without charge. Acceptance and participation requirements for the program and all activities are the same for all regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability. There will be no discrimination in the course of the meal service. Liz Sirney, an AmeriCorps VISTA member with the University, is the program organizer.
In addition to the meals, there will be a program at each site that will last a minimum of one hour. Some summer meals are being served in partnership with library reading programs, vacation bible schools and other summer programs, and may include such information as nutrition education, gardening activities and art workshops.
