What happens when school meals disappear for the summer? For too many Chicago families, it means facing an empty fridge and impossible choices. In this episode, we are joined by Camerin Mattson from the Greater Chicago Food Depository to explore the realities of food insecurity and how local partnerships are addressing the gap. From free summer meals at libraries to wraparound services at community pantries, we explore how families can access resources to cover the loss of meals, such as free lunch, for their children during school breaks.
