How Community-Based Organizations Expand Access to Summer Meals through Non-Congregate Feeding

A new summer meals provision allows summer meal sponsors to offer non-congregate meals in rural communities. These flexibilities allow community-based organizations to design programs that best meet the needs of their communities. No matter the size of your summer operations, there are non-congregate models that could help your rural community - whether you're transporting meals, offering grab n’ go options, bulk distributions, or adding take-home meals to existing summer programming.
