Mayor Bush to Take Part in the Texas Mayors Challenge

(April 6, 2011) – Waco Mayor Jim Bush will take part in the 3rd Annual Mayors Challenge to Feed Hungry Children, which was announced on March 29th by Texas Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples and NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders.

The challenge is issued each year to city mayors across Texas as part of an initiative to raise awareness about the availability of the federally-funded Summer Nutrition Programs offered by the Texas Department of Agriculture, which provide free meals during the summer when schools are closed. Mayor Bush signed the Mayors Challenge pledge to acknowledge his support of the program and his commitment to providing healthy meals to Central Texas children.

The program offers meals free of charge in areas where at least 50 percent of children are eligible for free or reduced-price meals with the National School Lunch Program. Participating locations, which will be announced by the end of the school year, include area Head Start programs, school campuses, Charter Schools, Community Centers and more.
