School may be taking a summer holiday but hunger doesn’t. God’s Pantry Food Bank is working to make sure that no children in Fayette County go hungry while school is closed this summer by participating in the US Department of Agriculture’s Summer Food Service Program (SFSP). 

The Summer Food Service Program is the largest federal resource available for local programs that combine mealtime with recreational and educational activities.
