Wheels with Meals program begins Coming this summer to Heppner, Lexington, Board- man and Irrigon is “Wheels with Meals,” sponsored by the Morrow County School District (MCSD). The Sum- mer Food Service Program for the MCSD is expand- ing with two new mobile buses named “Wheels with Meals”, with the slogan Feed a Smile, that will be going to eight new Summer Food Service Program sites this summer. Three buses were donated by Mid-Co- lumbia bus company and retrofitted for food service. Two of the buses will be put into service this school year. This project has been a community effort along with grants and support. For the name of the bus and slogan, there was district wide contest for stu- dents to submit their ideas and graphics. Three class- es had winners including Cynthia Hodgdon’s class at Irrigon Elementary with the theme name “Wheels with Meals,” Jon Schade’s class at Riverside Jr/Sr High with student Levi Whitmer’s slogan “Feed a Smile,” and Hilaree Vanderpas’s class, also at Riverside Jr/Sr High with students Luis Cardenas and April Mendieta’s fruit, vegetables and entrée graphics. The winners received a healthy pizza party in the classroom as a reward, sponsored by Sodexo. The Summer Food Service Program provides free meals to any child ages 1-18. One bus will be going to five new sites in Boardman and Irrigon and another bus will serve meals at three new sites in Heppner and Lexington. Lunch meals will begin on June 17 and plan to run through August 16. Sum- mer school sites will also be running at different times throughout the summer in addition to the “Wheels with Meals.” Times and locations are subject to change but are updated on this website: https://www. summerfoodoregon.org/ map/ or text “food” to 877- 877 or call 2-1-1 and ask about summer meals.
