IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0WHAT'S FOR LUNCH? IS A PROGRAM DEVELOPED BY LITERACY CONNEXUS TO PROVIDE RESOURCES IN AN ATTEMPT TO DEFEAT WHAT IS KNOWN AS THE SUMMER READING SLIDE. WHEN CHILDREN DO NOT CONTINUE READING THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER, THEY REGRESS IN THEIR LITERACY CAPACITY. MANY OF THESE CHILDREN RECEIVE FREE LUNCHES IN THE SUMMER. WE COLLABORATE WITH CHURCHES WHO PARTNER WITH FEEDING SITES. THESE CHURCHES ACT AS MOBILE LIBRARIES DURING MEAL TIMES, ENSURING THAT CHILDREN READ ENOUGH TO AVOID ENTERING THE SLIDE. LITERACY CONNEXUS HAS BEEN WORKING WITH PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITIES IN TEXAS TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO BOOKS FOR CHILDREN IN SUMMER MEALS PROGRAM FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS. IN THE SUMMER OF 2020, THIS PROGRAM WAS ON HIATUS DUE TO THE CORONAVIRUS PAMDEMIC.
