Childhood hunger in Central Pa. expected to rise over summer break

As summer break sets in, Central Pennsylvania is bracing for an increase in childhood hunger. With schools closed, the usual provision of free breakfasts and lunches during the school year is halted, leading to heightened food insecurity among students. This situation underscores a critical issue: the dependency of many children on school meals as a primary nutrition source. With no immediate solutions in sight, this rise in hunger could have long-term implications on the health and academic performance of affected children.
