Did you know that 1 in 6 children in America do not have the food they need every day? Unfortunately this is a horrible reality that is currently happening. This affects their development, health, and of course their own future as well.
Many children depend on their schools to get their breakfasts and lunches. But have you thought about what happens during their vacation time? How do these children do if they can’t attend their school during that period of time? How do they feed? Is it acceptable for a child to go hungry? For me, the answer is a definite NO.
For such reason I wanted to join this campaign, that along with Bar-S and No Kid Hungry to be able to promote the humanitarian aid that is needed for this purpose.
Bar-S‘s mission is to provide 1 million meals to children through No Kid Hungry during the summer months, which is when children do not have access to free school lunches.
On this occasion, I wanted to share two simple green salad ideas, perfect to take for lunch, also using fairly simple flavors to make it suitable for any kid’s taste.
For these salad ideas, within the wide range of Bar-S products available (like sausages, bologna, ham, etc.), I wanted to use their hickory smoked sliced bacon product, in order to give a distinctive and tasty touch to each salad.
