Join Jerri as she discusses a summer program at the library that will help fight hunger in our community.
A
Welcome
to
well
read
a
program
about
a
little
bit
of
this
and
a
little
bit
of
that
at
your
aims:
public
library,
I'm
gerry,
hide
you
services,
manager
at
APL,
and
today
I
want
you
to
think
about.
Have
you
ever
had
a
pain
in
your
stomach
that
you're
so
hungry?
You
can't
concentrate
on
what
you're
doing
or
you
can't
concentrate
because
of
that
fact
that
you
are
so
hungry.
A
Have
you
ever
thought
about
or
wondered
where
your
next
meal
is
going
to
come
and
when
you're
going
to
eat
it
and
where
it's
going
to
come
from?
Well,
many
of
our
students
have
that
same
problem.
Our
children
in
our
our
country,
in
our
state
and
in
yes
in
our
city
of
ames
and
during
the
school
year,
is
not
such
a
problem
because
at
least
one
meal
a
day
they
have
at
school,
but
during
the
summertime.
A
A
B
For
youth
and
shelter
services,
I
am
the
director
of
all
of
our
prevention
programs,
so
mentoring,
substance,
abuse,
pregnancy
prevention
and
early
intervention
programs.
So
in
the
food
program
this
summer
summer
feeding
program
where
the
sponsoring
agency,
because
of
our
concern
about
prevention
and
and.
B
A
C
United
Way
of
story
county
has
the
hunger
collaboration
and
the
hunger
collaboration
excuse
me
formed
in
2011,
and
since
that
time
we've
been
looking
at
what
are
the
root
causes
of
hunger,
but
who,
in
the
community
and
the
surrounding
communities,
are
hungry
and
what
we
could
do
collectively
with
partners
to
make
sure
that
we
can
at
least
have
meals
provided,
especially
to
children.
We
also
look
at
providing
meals
to
our
senior
citizens
as
well,
but
primarily
looking
at
what
are
the
causes
and
what
we
can
do
to
help
those
around
us.
So.
C
C
So
you
look
at
a
family
of
four,
for
example,
and
if
they're
making
less
than
nineteen
dollars
an
hour,
one
individual
they're,
really
just
making
enough
to
get
by
they're,
not
really
making
enough
to
thrive
or
to
save
for
education
or
say
for
vacation
or
even
save
for
crisis.
If
their
transmitter
would
go
out.
So
so.
C
There's
very
few
jobs
that
pay
that
that
wage,
especially
for
those
who
may
be
just
have
a
high
school
education
or
just
a
few
hours
of
a
college
credit,
and
so
it
is
a
struggle
for
families
in
order
to
make
all
of
their
ends.
Meet
and
I.
Think
today,
to
more
families,
pay
more
than
thirty
percent
of
their
wages
for
housing,
and
you
know
way
back
in
the
50s
that
prep
I
don't
know
that
percentage.
C
A
So
it's
also
not
only
you
know,
just
basic
living,
but
if
you
do
go
out
and
work,
then
you
have
that
daycare
dilemma
buying
that
per
hour
and
taking
that
amount
of
way
too
so,
but
so
do
you
know
I
know,
there's
the
free
reduced
lunches
that
are
at
the
you
know,
we
kind
of
measure
some
of
our
goals,
our
state
goals
and
how
our
students
are
doing.
Or
you
know
it's
so
can
you
tell
speak
either
one
of
you
to
that
that
well.
C
I
think
that
statewide
we
have
about
200,000
students
on
the
free
and
reduced
school
lunch
program
during
the
year
and
about
eleven
percent
of
those
are
actually
participating
in
a
Summer
Food
Service
Program
in
storey,
County
for
elementary
aged
children
about
thirty
percent
of
the
kids
in
elementary,
so
that's
grades,
K
through
5,
are
on
the
free
and
reduced
lunch
program
during
the
summer.
Of
course,
if
we
want
to
look
at
the
state,
if
you.
B
C
At
about
ten
percent
of
those,
you
know
there's
just
not
a
whole
lot
of
summer
food
options
for
those
children,
so
in
Ames
we
have
five
elementary
buildings
and
it
runs
anywhere
from
twenty
percent
at
one
elementary
building,
all
the
way
to
forty-nine
percent.
So
really
getting
close
to
that
one
out
of
two
children
in
that
particular
building
are
on
the
summer
food
excuse
me
on
the
free
and
reduced
lunch.
C
A
As
well
so,
but
then
during
the
summertime,
which
is
where
we're
going
to
there,
isn't
any
options
typically
because
they
don't
have
that
option
at
school.
So
I
know
our
aims.
Reads:
coalition
in
the
hunger
and
United
Way
has
they're
headed
and
launched
opportunities
for
children
to
be
able
to
eat
somewhere,
and
last
summer
we
launched
that
for
the
very
first
time
near.
Do
you
want
to
speak
to
that?
Because
they
know
you
were
the
fiscal
agent
unless.
B
B
C
Legion,
I
can
do
a
petition
so
through
the
IRA
department
of
education
and
ultimately,
usda
they're
in
charge
of
the
food
programs
and
an
open
site
for
summer
simply
means
that
you
are
in
a
geographical
spot,
where
they've
identified
as
a
spot
in
the
community
where
there
might
be
more
families
with
lower
incomes,
and
so
it's
easier
for
children
to
get
to.
So
that
means
for
the
sponsoring
agency
that
every
child
that
comes
in
18
and
under
that
they
would
be
reimbursed
by
the
Department
of
Education.
C
For
that
meal
served
we
have
enrolled
sites
as
well
and
so
for
those
enrolled
sites.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
at
least
fifty
percent
of
the
students
enrolled
are
on
the
free
and
reduced
lunch
program,
and
then
we
would
be
reimbursed
for
all
of
them.
If
we
fall
below
the
fifty
percent,
then
we
need
to
be
responsible
for
covering
the
cost
of
the
other
children
that
we
feed
and.

Being
an
active
partner
in
the
ames
reads
last
summer:
I'm
really
excited
because
we
served
almost
400
children
last
summer
prior
to
that
it
was
about
a
hundred
children
a
day
at
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club.
So
we
really
I
think
have
moved
that
and
move
the
needle
and
I
know
that
there
are
other
communities
that
have
the
library
involved
in
their
summer
food
program.
But
there's
not
very
many,
so
I'm
excited
that
our
library
is
jumping.
A
C
B
A
The
table
and
and
there's
more
at
the
table
than
just
us
three
but
three
organizations
are
the
ones
that
are
are
doing
the
the
financial
part
in
the
physical
place
part.
But
there
are
many
other
people
at
the
table
that
are
helping
our
children
through
the
summer,
not
only
being
able
to
have
a
meal
in
their
stomach,
but
also
some
activities,
meals
in
their
head
or
food
for
their
mind,
food
for
their
stomach
to
make
a
whole
person.
So
they
too
can
enjoy
a
community,
our
great
community
that
we
all
live
in
until
next
time.
