Page 9 Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, Ore. Wednesday, June 9, 2010 TRSD summer meal program sites in valley run June 14 to Aug. 20 By SCOTT JORGENSEN IVN Staff Writer Although school classes are dismissed for the summer, children throughout Illinois Valley still can be assured of nutritious daily meals. The Three Rivers School District (TRSD) summer food program is set to kick off Monday, June 14, and will run until Aug. 20. Approxi- mately 17 locations through- out Josephine County have committed to hosting the pro- gram, with seven in the Cave Junction area. Michael Morris, TRSD Food & Nutrition Services director, said that the program has been running for at least seven years. He said that ap- proximately 38,000 meals were served last summer through the program, funded through the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture (USDA). “When school is not in play, our honest opinion is that there are many students out there who don’t have food on the table on a regular ba- sis,” Morris said. “This is an opportunity to feed those kids in that event.” Each meal comes com- plete with fruit, vegetables, milk, bread and at least 2 ounces of protein. “We are required by USDA protocol to meet the nutritional value for each meal we serve in order to reach reimbursement,” Morris said. “The district makes money off the program, and the kids get fed. It’s a win-win.” Meals include such child favorites as peanut butter- and-jelly sandwiches, hot dogs and corn dogs. “It’s all kid-friendly,” Morris said. “We’re not serv- ing liver and onions.” cated at 1241 Illinois River Road in Selma. Breakfast will be served there from 9:15 to 9:45 a.m., with lunch from 11:30 a.m. to noon from June 14 through Aug. 13. For more information, phone Sherri Graham at 541- 597-8530, Ext. 315.

Lunch will be served from 11:30 a.m. to noon Mondays through Fri- days, with snacks offered from 3 to 3:30 p.m. For more information, phone Scott Thornhill at 541-592-4771. Morris said that anyone interested in hosting the pro- gram still can. “Generally, we look for sites that a lot of kids can come to,” he said. “There is no cost to anybody. It’s a service to programs that may operate during the summer as a draw to those programs. “We’ve opened in sev- eral churches in the commu- nity who do Bible camps, and they can advertise that they provide breakfast and lunch for the kids.” The summer food pro- gram is intended to benefit children and families throughout the county, Morris explained. “There are a lot of kids out there in a poverty situa- tion, with the way it is in the state of Oregon and primarily in Josephine County,” Morris said. “We feel it’s a great opportunity over any we’ve had this year to provide meals for these kids. We look for- ward to servicing as many kids as we can.” For more information, phone Morris at 476-4183. The program is open to children ages 1 through 18.
