HUMBOLDT — More than 15,000 meals were distributed over the summer via Humboldt USD 258’s summer meals program, which concludes Thursday.
The team served an average of 170 children and 30 adults a day, Terry Meadows, USD 258’s communications director, said in an email.
“This is more than just food service — this is community service at its finest,” Meadows said.
He lauded food service director Tara Stewart and her staffers for “their heart, care and professionalism they’ve shown every single day this summer. They’ve made a real impact.”
The summer program provided more than 12,000 free meals and 3,000 paid meals five days a week, including weekend meal bags — a crucial support for many local families, Meadows said.
Classes for USD 258 resume Aug. 21.
