Project Bread and DESE are hosting the 2025 Summer Eats Conference at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, MA on Thursday, January 30th 2025 for Summer Eats sponsors, partners, and providers!
This annual event brings together Child Nutrition professionals and supporting organizations who are passionate about increasing food access for children during the summer months via the Summer Eats program, which bridges the food access gap that impacts children between school years. Attendees will hear about critical programmatic information and innovative strategies for boosting participation in their programs. In addition to this there will be several breakout sessions where attendees have the opportunity to learn from their peers about best practices related to operating and expanding Summer Eats sites, promoting programs through social media, engaging children and families, and incorporating strategies to promote diversity, equity and inclusion.
The Summer Eats Conference is a unique opportunity for sponsors and sites to come together to share best practices, learn from experts in the field, learn about resources and grants available for the coming summer, and strengthen strategies for increasing participation in Summer Eats throughout Massachusetts.
The conference will be held on Thursday, January 30th, at The Hogan Center at the College of the Holy Cross. If you would like to attend, email CNOP@projectbread.org.
