6.30.2017 Webinar recording and slides are now available! This summer, low-income students from immigrant families, face increased risk of going hungry. With schools letting out for the summer, many children will lose access to the nutritious meals that schools provide. In locations where summer meal programs are available, there is concern that immigrant families may be less likely to show up due to heightened immigration enforcement concerns. View the webinars to learn about:
- Barriers to participation in summer meal programs for children from immigrant families
- Actions that you can take now to promote and create supportive and welcoming summer meal environments for immigrant families
- Policy and program opportunities to foster safe spaces for immigrant families at summer meal sites and beyond
