Secretary Perdue speaks to the local media about the
importance of the USDA's child nutrition programs.

free breakfast and lunch to children either enrolled in their
camps or coming to simply play at their rec centers this summer.
These meals are made possible by the USDA's Summer Food
Service Program (SFSP).
In Congress, the House Committee on Education and the
Workforce has jurisdiction over the USDA's child nutrition programs. NRPA and Mount Airy Parks & Recreation were thrilled
to be joined by Rep. Foxx, on Thursday, August 3, for " Hero
Day, " a Park Champion event at Riverside Park in Mount Airy,
North Carolina. Hero Day highlighted the role of the local police, fire department and recycling department, among others,
to the participating children, in addition to several interactive
activities. Chairwoman Foxx then assisted in handing out free
summer lunches to the children and remarked on the value of
children having access to activities and to meals over the summer months.

Turkey Thicket is just one example of sites
across D.C., and the nation, that offer free
breakfast and lunch to children either
enrolled in their camps or coming to
simply play at their rec centers...
Nationally, local park and recreation agencies are one of the
top providers of out-of-school time programming in the United
States. In fact, according to the NRPA Out-of-School Time Survey Results (http://ow.ly/bbYY30esaga), nine in 10 agencies
offer at least one out-of-school time program. Moreover, park
and recreation agencies are the second largest provider of outof-school time meals. Fifty-seven percent of park and recreation
agencies provide meals through the USDA meal programs,
including SFSP, the Child and Adult Care Food Program
(CACFP), and the National School Lunch Program (NSLP).
Since 2010, with support from the Walmart Foundation,
NRPA has provided $9 million in private grant funding to
the park and recreation field supporting federal programs;
served 76,878,790 meals through SFSP, CACFP and NSLP
at park and recreation sites; impacted 4,185,238 youth at park
and recreation sites; and served 273 communities. In addition,
agencies leverage their role as meal providers to create healthier environments that provide access to nutritious foods and
physical activity opportunities through NRPA's Commit to
