The Food Research and Action Center (FRAC) released a
national analysis today that shows Texas' participation in the Summer Food
Programs remains low. Only 9.4 percent of low-income kids received summer meals
on an average day in July 2011, according to the Hunger Doesn't Take a Vacation
report. Texas' poor performance, which is lower than the national average of 1
in 7, means missed meals for children and missed dollars for the state. Texas
families can find nearby summer meal sites and more information by calling
2-1-1 or through the Texas Department of Agriculture's.
