The Summer Nutrition Summit - December 2024

No Kid Hungry hosted the second Summer Nutrition Summit on December 9-10th in Dallas, Texas.

The Summer Nutrition Summit brought together an inspiring mix of speakers and participants, from state, territory, and tribal agency staff and summer meals sponsors to national partners and USDA staff. This dynamic event was an opportunity to engage in collaborative discussions, spark innovative ideas, and shape the future of summer nutrition programs. The summit focused on the unique opportunities in rural, non-congregate summer meals and Summer EBT (SUN Bucks). Thank you to those who joined us for a valuable experience where fresh ideas met actionable solutions! The Summer Nutrition Summit was sponsored by the Walmart Foundation.

Travel support was made possible by the Walmart Foundation.
