Retired from AT & T
An invaluable friend with great insight who helped get KidsEat! off the ground.
With the help of Kathy Briggs, RN & School District Nurse (retired) and Dan Canary, U of U Professor, we have put a number on the at-risk kids in the Salt Lake Valley. Using the statistics provided by the these schools Districts, Jordan, Granite, Canyons, Salt Lake, & Murray, there are 55,055 children that receive a free lunch every day during school hours. Easily half of these children might benefit from a weekend food program. We will pursue this in 2017.
