The program, which began on July 1st and will end August 2nd, has been a great success and has served over 500 meals.

Dr. Rosanne Lampariello, the Superintendent/Principal of Owens Valley Unified School District has been ecstatic over the program’s success and says, “As the leader of OV, I am focused not only on our students and their preparation for college and career but also on building community connections. We decided to open up the summer meal program to adults in the community to fill a need since the breakfast and lunch options in town are very limited and to open our doors so that those who live and work here in town can feel connected to the local school.”
