"This meal program provides a vital service to many local children and families, and it is important that people know about it," said Lee, who championed efforts to create a year-round child nutrition program while she was serving in the state legislature. The summer food service program provides approximately 3,000 meals per day to children under the age of 18 in the Ashland and Hayward area during the summer months when school is not in session. According to program organizers, many local families rely on school lunches to feed their children during the school year, and without the program many children would be at risk of going hungry. Lee was joined by Dr. Dale Vigil, Superintendent of the Hayward Unified School District; Grant Peterson, President of the Hayward Unified School District Board of Education; Al Schieder, the HUSD nutrition manager who oversees the free lunch program; and Jill Hoogendyk, Principal of the Cherryland Elementary School. The information on the meal program is as follows: SITEADDRESSDATESHOURSOPENMEAL TIMESEst.No.Ashland Community Ctr1530 167th Ave,San Leandro6/25-8/10 M-FClosed July 47:00-4:30BKFST 8-8:30LUNCH 12:00-12:45 80Chabot College25555 Hesperian Blvd ("Snack Room")6/25-7/20Closed July 4Meals onlyLUNCH 12:00-12:30250Cherryland Elem (SS)585 Willow Avenue7/6 - 8/3 M-FSummer Sch8:30-12:30BKFST 8-8:30LUNCH (see below) 200Cherryland Elem (YEP)585 Willow Avenue6/25-8/17 M-F7:00a-6:00pLUNCH 12:00-12:45SNACK 4:00-4:15No snack 7/6-8/3 Darwin Center (SE)27000 Bahama Avenue6/18 - 7/31 M-FClosed July 4Summer Sch8:15-1:00LUNCH 12:00-12:30 20Hayward High (SS)1633 East Avenue6/26 - 8/3 M-FClosed July 2, 3, 4Summer Sch8:15-1:00LUNCH 10:25-10:45 200Longwood School (ME-SS/YEP)850 Longwood Avenue7/6 - 8/3 M-FSS 8:30-12:30YEP 12:30-6:00BKFST 8-8:30LUNCH 12:15-12:45 200Markham Elem (SS/YEP)1570 Ward Street7/6-8/3 M-FSS 8:30-12:30YEP 12:30-6:00BKFST 8-8:30LUNCH 12:00-12:45 200Matt Jimenez Center28200 Ruus Road6/18 - 8/24 M-FClosed July 412:00-6:00 pmLUNCH 12:00-1:00SNACK 3:00-3:30250M.L.King Middle (SS)26890 Holly Hill Ave6/26-7/27 M-FClosed July 2, 3, 4Summer Sch8:30 - 12:30LUNCH 10:30-10:45 200Mt.
