TERRE HAUTE, Ind.  – With summer break here for students across the Wabash Valley, many school age children may wonder where their next breakfast or lunch will come from.

One in five children in Vigo County is food insecure. That means they don’t have access to nutritious foods to lead a healthy lifestyle.

Ryves Youth Center is just one of the places that offer a free summer meal program to kids in Vigo County.

Vigo County schools will also have certain times throughout the summer where kids can get free meals.

Both programs are open to any child in the county.

There are other programs across the Wabash Valley.

Contact your child’s school for information on what may be available in your area.
