"It's so much fun here. It's like going to their grandma's house...you come and eat and play and people care about you. It's like getting to hang out with the big kids! My son is entering kindergarten in the fall so it's been great to bring him to Summer Eats sites and let him see what school meals will be like. I get to see what his favorites are and now he will see some familiar faces in the school cafeteria this fall."
