## Resource

Hillsborough County’s summer meal program crashed on opening day—cars lined up for hours before it even started, and food ran out within minutes. Designed to feed kids seven days a week during the break, this USDA-funded initiative, run by Hillsborough County Schools, is a lifeline for families struggling amid rising costs. One dad of eight, waiting nearly two hours after surgery, called it essential for his kids’ nutrition. With more boxes on the way and distribution every Wednesday in Ruskin and across the county, the overwhelming turnout proves how many families—even those working—can’t afford groceries.
