The National League of Cities’ Institute for Youth, Education and Families has selected eleven cities, including Bridgeport, CT, to receive technical assistance and grant funding as part of a national initiative to reduce childhood hunger.
The cities are to receive grants (of up to $60,000) and practical guidance as they strive to increase children’s participation in the federal Afterschool Meal Program. This initiative is part of the Cities Combating Hunger through Afterschool Meal Programs (CHAMP) initiative.
