(Santa Barbara, CA) — The Foodbank of Santa Barbara County is hosting the children’s End Summer
Hunger program Picnic in the Park (PIP) – which provides free, healthy lunches for kids (18 and under) – at 12 locations countywide. PIP will operate weekdays from June 12 to August 4 in Guadalupe, Los Alamos and Santa Maria; June 12 to August 18 in Goleta and Santa Barbara; and June 12 to August 11 in Santa Ynez.
This summer, all Picnic in the Park locations (except Los Alamos and Santa Ynez) will offer lunch on-site at parks, libraries, apartment complexes and community centers, where kids can enjoy lunch and participate in fun and educational activities and games. Our locations at Creekside Apartments (in Los Alamos) and Santa Ynez Elementary School will feature grab-and-go lunches, where children can stop by and pick up meals to take home.
