For some kids, the only healthy meal they consume is a meal offered at school during the academic year. During the summer, the Fresno Economic Opportunities Commission (Fresno EOC) Food Service Program is providing no-cost meals to youth in the community through its Summer Food Services Program (SFSP).

Besides eating healthy meals, students and parents are encouraged to work out and stay cool during the triple digit weather here in the Central Valley. Kids need one hour of physical activity everyday, whereas adults need only 2.5 hours a week. Swimming can be a great way to work out and cool down.
