United Way of Greater New Haven and New Haven Public Schools (NHPS) unveiled Connecticut's first Summer Food Truck that will deliver free, nutritious meals to kids throughout the city. The Summer Food Truck, which is made possible by a grant from United Way, will allow NHPS's Central Kitchen to provide two free meals per weekday – 1,000 free meals a day – to children living in under-served neighborhoods throughout New Haven. Federal funds will pay for the program.
NHPS and United Way are partners in the Connecticut No Kid Hungry Campaign, an initiative led by End Hunger Connecticut!, Governor Malloy, and Share Our Strength, to end childhood hunger in Connecticut by 2015. This is the first food truck to serve summer meals to children and youth in Connecticut.
