Todd County Schools was recently awarded a grant to bring the summer feeding program back to the district.
The district’s Food Service Director, Kristen Hunter, says thanks to the grant, awarded by the organization No Kid Hungry, this is the first summer the district will be able to do summer feeding in around six years. They will be distributing food throughout the parks in Guthrie, Elkton, Sharon Grove, and Clifty with five-day breakfast and lunch meal kits.
