Our second summer meals site visit in Staten Island looked like it was the set of the Sandlot. You know the scene with Squints and the lifeguard Wendy Peffercorn? That’s right, what better place for a summer meals site than a community pool? Like libraries and parks, pools are places where kids naturally gather, which makes sense to use it as a site. While there, we spoke with the director of the Young People’s Day Camp in Brooklyn, whose campers were visiting the Staten Island pool. He said multiple times, “please thank your bosses. This program has been a huge help to our kids. Lot of parents can’t pack a lunch so when we’re traveling with the campers we can still get free lunches.”
