Mayor Pro tem Zimmerman presentation a proclamation for No Kid Hungry Summer to Ms.
Sonia Singleton, Assistant Director, Parks and Community Services Department and Ms. Marty
Otero, Texas Hunger Initiative No Kid Hungry Regional Coordinator. He stated that the
existence of childhood hunger in the United States threatened future American prosperity and
nutrition studies had shown that youth were at a higher risk for both hunger and obesity during
the summer months. He further stated that summer should be about fun, friends and adventure;
however, when school was out, many families, whose limited financial resources were stretched
even further, couldn't count on their children having access to a nutritious breakfast and lunch at
school. He also stated that summer was a critical time for the academic and physical
development of children and according to Feeding America, a child who was unequipped to
learn because of hunger and poverty was more likely to be poor as an adult and as a result
summer meals programs were more important than ever, providing youth up to 18 with nutritious
meals and snacks in addition to a fun place to stay active and be with friends. He stated that the
City of Fort Worth Parks and Community Services Department could improve access to summer
meals programs for youth throughout Fort Worth and Tarrant County by increasing awareness
about free summer meals through outreach in the community as well as increasing the number of
meal sites or capacity of existing sites in underserved areas in addition to investing in summer
programming to attract more youth to meal sites. He added that the City of Fort Worth Parks
and Community Services Department in conjunction with the Baylor University Texas Hunger
Initiative - Fort Worth, the Tarrant Area Food Bank, local school districts, churches and
community organizations such as Purple Hearts, Inc. in Tarrant County were committed to
ensure that no child goes hungry this summer.
