Hunger Doesn’t Take a Summer Vacation, Get the Word Out About Summer Meals

Posted · Add Comment

Please help us ensure that summer isn’t the hungriest time of year for New Jersey children. As a member of the NJ Food for Thought Campaign Coalition, NJPSA is participating in a summer meals awareness campaign, set to launch on June 12 with a Thunderclap.

Thunderclap

Thunderclap is a simple social media tool that allows all of us to send the same message at the same exact time to amplify our message and extend our reach. It’s easy to do!

Simply click on this link and click Support with Facebook, Twitter or Tumblr (or all three!).  The app will ask you to authorize access to your social media contacts. Don’t worry! They just do this to get a count of potential people who will view our post. They don’t contact your friends or in any way share the info. (Learn more about Thunderclap here).

After you have authorized, you will be listed as a supporter and your message will be automatically posted. You’ll also see a button where you can invite your social media friends/followers to join our Thunderclap.

Toolkit

In addition, as a school leader, you can get the word out about Summer Meals though USDA’s outreach toolkit. The toolkit includes sample outreach plans, templates, customizable flyers, door hangers, letters to parents, activity sheets for children, and attendance certificates.

Thanks for helping New Jersey children get the summertime nutrition they need to return to school healthy and ready to learn in September.
